Strong seedlings

The sunflowers are getting bigger!  We have 16 plants in the 4x8' plot.  The tallest reach about mid-thigh. 

Mammoth and Hybrid Snack Seed

 The sunflowers are doing great!  We have two varieties:  Mammoth (up to 8' tall) and Hybrid Snack Seed ( 5' tall)- both are edible.  About half of the garden was planted from seed right there and the other half were seedling transplants started indoors.  The indoor seedlings grew fast and were a bit more leggy than the in-ground ones but all are doing well.

A bit of organic fertilizer and some watering over the weekend has really helped these little guys out. 

A few marigolds were planted last week for color and interest while we wait for the sunflowers to get bigger.

In the rest of the garden plots, people are harvesting strawberries, lettuces, and herbs.
