Garden Notes
Planting is done, ahead of this afternoon’s rain. It’s cool today, but it’s going to be in the 70s for the rest of the week, so I’m not fearing for my tomatoes, if they can get through today. Today, I added nasturtiums, ground cherries, the rest of the chard, and yarrow. I have
Weekly Wildflowers – McLaughlin Garden, South Paris, ME
I am breaking one of my rules today – I don’t normally post plants that are actually planted in a garden (normally, what I post from formal gardens are plants I’ve found outside of the actual beds).

Scarborough Marsh – Scarborough, ME
This was Sunday’s walk. It’s looking a heck of a lot more marshy than during last year’s dry summer. We’ll have to see how that works out this year.

Weekly Wildflowers – Westbrook, ME
In a sign that I am bringing my partner over to the dark side of wildflower spotting, while wandering around his company’s grounds during his lunch break, he’d spotted enough different wildflowers that we made a stop there while driving around last Saturday. The Veronica were a happy surprise. I’d never noticed those before, and
