Quite some time ago, I put up a little post about getting a new community garden and my own plot in it started this past spring. I dubbed it The Pie Patch because I planted mostly things that would go well in a pie: currents, loingonberries, rhubarb, and gooseberries. I realized the other day that I hadn’t taken a picture of the plot in awhile and wanted some to document growth after the first season. You’ll notice the rhubarb is on a rampage! I’m going to give the young shrubs some extra TLC later this fall to get them through their first winter by putting a burlap windbreak around them and mulching with a thick layer of leaves. Can’t wait to start baking those pies next year!
