Hello Sydney’s Green Garden Friends,
Happy 4th of July! It’s a wonderful time to get together for outdoor picnic and barbeques with family and friends. Your container garden may provide salad and herb makings for your holiday festivities. While I don’t have any potatoes growing, I have some green onions I planted a few years ago that I know will taste great in potato salad.
If you planted SGG vegetable seeds you’re probably excited to see the plants growing. It’s fun and economical to grow your own food.
Scott’s containers are growing gangbusters – check out the new pictures. His potato plants are absolutely awesome – they’re healthy and should yield a great crop. He’s been enjoying spinaches and lettuces for a few weeks now. He loves to let everyone know what’s in bloom and what’s ready to eat, so check back soon.
The container gardens at MIDI Restaurant in the Fitger’s complex are looking pretty good – lettuces look tasty. Peas are climbing, pumpkins and squash are branching out and will soon flower. Potatoes are robust and will soon bloom as well. Carrots are coming along nicely. The chocolate mint is ready to garnish many dishes and drinks. A few tomatoes are ripening. When you’re out enjoying summer on the Lakewalk, be sure to stop by and check out our garden at MIDI.
This week I am enjoying spinaches and lettuces. Since they were planted later than many people plant these crops, they are very tender – but oh, so tasty!
Beans, peas, squashes and carrots are all growing strong – the peas are starting to climb. Basil, dill and cilantro, radishes and beets are all looking healthy, too.
Happy and safe 4th of July to you and yours,
From Your Friends at Sydney’s Green Garden
