Vegetable Garden

Seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers thrive in this sunny, productive garden. The Vegetable Garden provides a thematic link to the fresh produce of the neighboring Farmers Market and serves as a great demonstration space for teaching about edible gardening. The garden’s harvest is donated to Davis Community Meals.

In the spring and summer, look for warm season crops, such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, basil, melons, cucumbers, squash, and sunflowers. In the fall and winter, cool season crops commonly include a wide variety of leafy greens, broccoli, onions, radishes, and beets.

 

Vegetable Garden - New Plantings



The garden was planted with tomatoes, eggplants,
peppers, basil, melons, cucumbers, and squash this spring.
This early summer image shows the warm season crops
developing.
The garden was planted with broccoli, carrots, radishes, beets, and
a wide variety of leafy greens at the end of the summer.  Green tape
outlines newly seeded areas.  These cool season crops will keep the
garden productive through the fall and winter.
