Gardener’s Diary; Falmouth Farmers Market

Thrilled to note from the tree sapling map that our young Arbor Day Foundation tree with the glorious leaves is an Eastern Redbud.

Pruned and pruned the roses for about an hour and a half. The amount of destruction makes me sick. I annihilated a few Japanese beetles.

Picked three summer squash from the garden. At this point, they may have paid for themselves, given the cost of organic produce.

We went to the Falmouth farmers market today and brought home a blueberry scone, donuts for Ron and donut holes for Laura, scallions, tomatoes. Caught up with Wayne the coffee guy. His kindness is one of only a handful of good memories from Fisheries.

Ron got to ride the Carousel of Light!CarouselofLight

I made a big salad for lunch with our plunder from the farmers markets: too good.

Laura returned the bath towels (laundered, bless her), dropped off some compost materials and gave us a jar of her homemade strawberry rhubarb jam. Better than good!

Now: to dig.
