Sunday

Looks like it is going to be a fine day for the Harrison Show on Sunday. That will likely be one of the few we will attend this year. Did not get to it last year.

The following weekend, weather permitting, we plan on buzzin' up to Wiscasset for their first show. I suspect it will be pretty good.

Well, we gave away over 120 perennials over the last two weeks. Those of you who got them, I hope they do well for you. Later in the season we expect to have hundreds of cukes and tomatoes to give away, as well as green beans. That is, if we can break away long enough to get to some cruise-ins.

As you may know, I planted 600 trees less than a month ago in one of my fields. So far, they are growing like weeds. When fall comes, I'll post pix of before and after, as I think some of you will be interested in their rapid growth - you can grow a "forever" supply of fuel on just a couple acres. The trees mature to "stove size" in as little as four years, and once cut, they regrow bigger the second time. They will regrow over and over, until the root dies in 30-40 years.

My mechanic and inspection guy has disappeared. His phone rings but never gets answered, and his garage is gated closed. Hope he is still above ground. Gonna have to find a new guy, I guess.

Well, it's official - we have both a fisher and a bobcat prowling our spread. I guess that means the neighbor's cats are in trouble, and fewer rabbits population will dine on my gardens. The porcupines are all but extinct around here because of the fisher.

Has anyone noticed that all those flocks of turkeys have all but vanished? Used to see them all over the place, every day. Now it is rare to spot any. Poachers, maybe?

Well, it's late. Hope to catch some of you on Sunday...
