  2. ... and taking a moment to just sit in a chair in the sun for a moment before heading home. I did a quick survey of the flowers. Always got to remember to stop and look at the flowers. These "black" hollyhocks have been giving a little joy for *months* now. They just keep on going. Uploading flowers is an excuse to sit in the sun a little longer. #bloomscrolling #alloment #gyo

  7. ANYWAY… all my angst & uncertainty aside… we are managing an #allotment harvest all the same. Many things are not well cared for, but a lot is growing (and going to waste) despite that — we make use of what we can.

    About 3 hours down here today (and all that has happened is watering & harvest, no time on tending & maintenance.)

    It is a nice day. I wish I was better able to enjoy it, but instead I fret about the state of it, about the things I cannot do, about the things I need to go home and do, and the rapid drawing in of the weekend. I want to do too many things in too little time.

    We have tomatoes. There is sunshine. I am outdoors. Trying to find some solace if not quite celebration.

  12. 12 Groups of #CompanionPlants to Make Your #VegetableGarden Thrive

    Some plants help each other enormously, while others hinder their neighbors – use this cheat sheet to ensure harmony in the vegetable plot.

    By Melissa Breyer
    Updated April 18, 2023

    "There can be real discordance in the vegetable garden. Placing plants side-to-side that vie with one another, for example, does not do much good for any of them. But there is wonderful community that can happen between plants as well – and it's a great way to strategize when plotting out a garden plot.

    Welcome to companion planting."

  14. #RockportME - 2nd Annual SEED FEST

    April 11 @ 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM

    "The #RockportPublicLibrary will host its second annual SEED FEST on Saturday, April 11. This free, family-friendly event will take place on the upper and lower levels of the library.

    "At 12:30 p.m., Petra Page-Mann of #FruitionSeeds will deliver an interactive keynote presentation. Page-Mann and her nonprofit seed company are strong advocates of 'gift culture,' which involves giving away seeds to promote food cultivation and community building. This ethos aligns perfectly with the theme of SEED FEST.

    "The event is generously sponsored by the Rockport Library Foundation and is organized in partnership with several organizations, listed alphabetically: Herbal Hummingbird Hub, Knox Lincoln County Beekeepers, Knox-Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District, Maine Grains and Maine Grain Alliance, Maine Heirloom Seed Network, Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association [#MOFGA], #MaineRiceProject at Ararat Farms, #MerryspringNatureCenter, #Niweskok: From the Stars to Seeds, Roots n Shoots, #UMaineCooperativeExtension, and #WildSeedProject.

    "The exhibiting partners will provide valuable information, hands-on activities, items for sale, and an abundance of free seeds and seedlings. Additionally, #midcoast artist Katharine Cartwright’s beautiful #BotanicalPaintings will be showcased in the library’s lower level for a month-long exhibition titled 'In My Garden.' "

  16. Want to boost your fruit yield? 🍋🍅 Try hand-pollination!
    Use a small artist's brush to gently transfer pollen between flowers. The best time is the middle of the day when the pollen is ripe and easily movable. This can lead to a much bigger harvest!
