This Week in the Garden

Blueberry blossoms

Timber!

 

A couple weeks ago, after several stormy days, we woke up one morning to find our beautiful maple tree hugging the ground.  So sad.  We're lucky it was early in the gardening season, or it might have done some real damage to the beds.  I'll miss its beautiful autumn leaves, its shade in summer, and the use of its limbs as anchors for hammock and clothesline.  At least we'll  have a little more sun for the garden now, and maybe a bit more planting space.
