So, here's the layout for this year's community garden plot. The area is 20ft by 40ft. We have planted some as of May 1st, but not much. Our last average frost is the 15th of May, so we'll get everything in the ground around the 15th.
Above is a shot across the row of peas. They are just starting out. Since they are so cold hardy, we plant them as soon as we get the ground turned over.
Here is the horseradish as it comes up. Apparently its roots spread like crazy wildfire. Oh well, a bit late now.
The young leaves are tender and have a slight taste of horseradish, but actually would make a wonderful addition to a spring salad.
This shows the perennial end of the garden. This is the lavender, thyme, lavender, tarragon, lavender row. The rest of the garden plot is to the bottom right corner of this picture (with north running across the row of perennials).
The empty area to the left of the lavender is our 'annex'. We claimed some more public area (an additional 20 X 15 feet). We have more everbearing strawberries there now as a border. After the 15th, we will plant some cooking pumpkins, and maybe some miniature, decorative pumpkins for fall.
