I have been traveling this month and therefore have not spent much time in the community garden. It has been a weird, pretty bad gardening season for me. The tomatoes are pretty much done. I have a few green ones still on the vines, but pulled the diseased plants (Ananas Noire, Dr. Wyche’s Yellow, and Black Krim) just before my trip. More on my tomato issues in a different blog post.

Currently, I have some winter squash growing and greens (kale and chard). Also cilantro, parsley and fall salad greens. The beets are still tiny, so I am not sure what to expect. The squash has been super slow to flower and set fruit. Just a strange season.

I have a lot of color in the plot though. The strawflowers have been taking off, as have the zinnias. And the marigolds and nasturtium are happy as usual.
