2016 Garden Progress
The past two weekends in Maine have been gorgeous. Warmer weather, a nice breeze, perfect for working in the garden. And because of that, we have made significant progress in our garden for 2016.

I am always amazed at how much the garden can grow in such a short time frame. Last week we had a couple days with a lot of rain, and then a lot of sun, and my garden turned into a huge weedy mess. Can you even see the garden beds in that mess of dandelions? This week will be spent cleaning up that garden space for planting next weekend. In Maine the normal “planting day” … [Read more...] about garden progress
