Like most gardens in New Jersey this summer, Pulaski Park Community Garden is enjoying and dreading the over the top rainfall this growing season. The initial rounds of waterfall this spring produced super gorgeous and plentiful beds of leafy green vegetables. The daily 90 degree plus temps this summer preceded and followed by the extensive rains, boosted our heat loving vegetables like tomatoes and peppers into overdrive, producing large quantities of juicy vegetables.

But right about now, we could use a break from some of the rain so we can catch up with harvesting, pruning and planting for fall. This past Saturday was a work day in the garden. Kudos to the team of gardeners who were on a mission to pull as many w**ds as possible. Yeah, the w**ds love the rain also!!!

We are also happy to report that we donated an abundance of dinosaur kale, cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, giant zucchinis and peppers to the Farmer’s Market this past Tuesday!

The Pulaski Community Garden received a much needed delivery of wood chips by DPW which created two all hands on deck, unscheduled work days the weekend of 7/11. The gardeners did not disappoint and volunteered on one or both of the weekend mornings to shovel, haul and spread the wood chips throughout the garden. Job well done!!

This week we donated more than 40 pounds of fresh picked organic dinosaur kale, cucumbers, basil, parsley, carrots, onions and celery to the Bloomfield Farmer’s Market. Our resident Cardoon plant which wintered over, surprised us with its first set of blooms this year. The flowers are exquisite and resemble small purple artichokes. We are looking forward to harvesting the corn growing on the fence and the potatoes in the containers.

Pulaski gardeners enjoyed the first of the season potluck on Sunday 6/7 spending a few hours relaxing, eating and communing in our beautiful garden. Radiant sunshine and gentle breezes best describes how Mother Nature felt about the day. It is clear that our gardeners not only have green thumbs but they are also talented chefs. Mmmm, mmmm, good!!

On Saturday the 13th, it was back to work keeping the garden clean, safe and productive. We worked up a sweat (90 plus temps) thinning and relocating a few annual flowering plants, w**ding the perimeter (oh that darn bind w**d), cutting back invasive vines, stirring compost, planting sweet potatoes and assisting fellow gardeners with plans for their beds. Highlight of the day was the visit from the Milbank gardeners which included a casual orientation, sharing of knowledge and a walk about. There were lots of introductions and discovery of ideas making the visit feel more like a reunion.

On Tuesday 6/16, Pulaski donated 24 pounds of lettuce, bok choy, cilantro, parsley, cabbage, broccolini and kale to the Farmer’s Market.

Pulaski gardeners are kicking off the growing season in style!

Pulaski garden donated 23 heads of various types of fresh, organic, locally grown red and green lettuces to the Bloomfield Church on the Green’s food pantry Wednesday morning, the first donation of the season!

Need some eye candy? Feast your eyes on the perfect complimentary purple and white flowers in front of the garden gate, also known as Larkspur and Bachelor Buttons. Nice job Georgine!!

Opening Day on 4/11 at Pulaski Garden welcomed 5 new gardeners. This is very exciting. We are looking forward to the sharing of ideas, learning about what our gardeners are growing and how to maximize our harvests. Our first work day on 4/25 presented us with a springtime torrential rain event (12 plus hours of steady rain) but that did not keep gardeners from coming out to help build 2 raised beds for the gardeners who rent those beds. The winter months took its toll leaving both beds in total disrepair. Success was imminent as we are fortunate to have some dedicated volunteers who have braved other inclement weather gatherings when a job needed to be done and who knew we could be successful. Thank you Pulaski Gardeners!!! Article and pictures courtesy of Amanda Waters, Pulaski Garden liaison.
