Above are photos from Bradner Gardens P-Patch plot B29B in late April & early May of 2013. I moved perennials from my garden to the plot in November 2012. These grew & spread quickly as the weather warmed abruptly from 55F/13C on 4/30 to 65F/18C on 5/1 & on to a record high of 87F/30.5C on 5/6. Most of the cabbage, carrot, Chinese greens, collards & radish seeds I planted on 3/26 had sprouted by 4/26 when I planted bean & squash seeds. The beans had begun to sprout when I visited again on 5/7 to water thoroughly after the record heat. Everything had made it through just fine on the abundant rains of April. I met with the ornamental border lead for an hour on 5/1, which counted as volunteer work. I decided to work on an inventory of the plants in the border. It was planted 10 years ago & may need some renovation. Click here for earlier posts about plot B29B. Below are photos of the ornamental border & p-patch.
