Weather Update: Today was one of those picture-perfect days…we had a light breeze, a high temp. of 73F, and partly cloudy skies…the way Maine should be…Except…we desperately need rain.

Vegetable Garden Update: A quarter inch of rain per week (if we are lucky) just doesn’t cut it for the gardens, and the vegetables are suffering for it. Last summer was so wet we had to pull up the tomato plants due to a blight. This summer, the vegetables are growing and ripening very slowly due to lack of water. We have a 16’ dug well, so we cannot afford to water the veggies very often.
