So the other part of this weekend’s epic drive was a stop at the McLaughlin Garden in South Paris. It’s known for its lilacs (the annual Lilac Festival is this weekend), and they’re all planted in a pretty densely packed woodland area that last weekend was bursting with spring ephemerals. Totally worth the trip. (They […]

We went on a fairly epic drive around Southern and Western Maine yesterday, stopping at a few gardens and other spots we’d been wanting to see. The above is the Garden at the Pineland Center, which is just starting to come to life – they haven’t planted the vegetables yet, and the fruit trees are

The Farmer’s Market looked gorgeous yesterday. There’s definitely been a seasonal shift – with many root vegetables, and apples everywhere. I bought some local plums that I’m planning on making jam with, and we got ingredients for gazpacho, as well as some sweet corn, for what is possibly our last veggie grill blow out of
