Lisa spent the week in LA and took the red-eye home last night. While I was waiting for her, I scooped as much crud as I could out of the pond, and turned the pump back on. We lost all our fish for the second year in a row. We told the landscaper we wanted

We’ve had pretty heavy rains all week this week, and the flowers in bloom in the garden are really starting to show the strain of all the water weight. The Shasta daisies in particular have mostly flopped over and started to rot, turning into a most unattractive slime heap. Ick. So I went out and

Or so we think. It hides in the algae (which it’s eating madly) so it’s almost as hard to get a good look as a good picture. There are also half a dozen somewhat larger (two inch) charcoal grey fish in there, none of which we’d seen before today. At the rate the salmon colored

Our second day with the sawmill was as fun as the first. I’m assuming we won’t always be so thrilled, but for now, I’m still documenting our progress madly. One of the things I found really interesting is that in 1995, when we were clearing for the main garden, we cut down a huge oak

We goofed off all day yesterday, spending our holiday and thus day off in a canoe on the Connecticut River rather than working in the garden. We sure had fun, though, and the garden seems to have survived without us. I noticed yesterday morning that I have the first blooms from my Galliardia. This is

We haven’t had rain in days, the temps have been in the 90s, and it’s been incredibly humid. This is New Hampshire? I go outside to putter in the garden, and I just wilt! The flowers all seem to be holding up fine, though. Frank’s got the drip irrigation working in all of the window

Welcome to High Summer! I was a picture-taking fool today, but I can’t help it. The garden is absolutely beautiful right now. Such a change, suddenly. There are tons of colors all over the place, and everything, it seems, is in bloom. My window boxes in particular are all very full, draping down nicely.
