Garden Snacks & Lawn Care Chores
Weather conditions have been a bit mixed this week, except for the humidity! It always seems to be humid. I’ve been enjoying my early morning and evening strolls in the gardens–with the shop dogs loping by my side.
Downpours During Harvest Time
Remember when I was dancing at the prospect of rain? Well, you might have noticed we got some! My gardens underwent significant downpours, but the wind caused some damage. Earlier this week, I woke up to find one of my tomatillos flattened to the ground.

The walking paths and roads are mostly dirt and gravel covered. There is a Loop Trail that starts at the farm and takes you to a beaver pond through forests and fields and there is access to the Piscataquog Land Conservancy, where you can hike and snowshoe in the winter.
Hoofing It through Mid-July garden maintenance
What’s the dirt? Well, it’s been hot, smokey, and oh-so-humid. Weeds have been flourishing–they aren’t as picky water-wise and don’t mind heat as much. My lawn is a little crispy (I don’t water typically in an attempt to conserve), but the

Getting a Step Ahead of Pests & Invasives
The sun is a-shinin’ and it has finally cooled off a bit. As I said last week, I struggle with hot temperatures, so I am so thankful for this reprieve–and I think the gardens are too. Between the rain, I managed to get out in the veggie bed
The Downtown Lowdown - July 9 to July 15
Hello there, Summer days are here and there is plenty to do with the weather being so nice. Is it a smidge hot sometimes? Sure. But before you know it, we’ll be complaining about how long winter is here and how cold it is. At least I will, so
