Garden Notes
Well, the iris are out, which means it’s plant whatever the heck else you need to time. I took Friday off so I could go to my favorite garden center (Broadway Gardens)- the haul from which is above. It was raining, so I foolishly thought it would be fairly empty. Ha! Granted, it was no
McLaughlin Garden – South Paris, ME
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

Pineland Garden – New Gloucester, ME
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 Garden is next to the Capital, and I highly recommend visiting it. There’s an outdoor garden, and a glassed in house, that has a number

After starting to go through the flower pictures I did manage to take on the trip, I notice that I managed to see quite a bit. This album is a condensed version of what was around outside. Yes, there will be a post coming of just flowers I saw inside. Wow. I am that much

DC, Day 1, or How We Are not the Only People with Wonky Late Winter Weather
You see these pictures? Several months ago, when we booked our long weekend in Washington, DC, based on prior experience, we fully expected that we’d be awash in cherry blossoms when we got there. (Heck, the organizers of the 100th anniversary festival expected the same.) But, they got the same heat wave we got, so
