Weekend at the Common Ground Fair in Maine. Volunteered yesterday and have a shift for tomorrow. Today was my free day so I wandered around, went to a chicken first aid talk, and angora rabbit grooming demo, helped with a community felting project, and went to a solar cooking demo. Always fun.

Also anyone with a quote from the amazing N.K. Jemison on the cover gets to the TBR pile immediately!

Alt text for the photo: a picture of a book called Audition for the Fox by Martin Cahill. The cover is most intriguing with a prominent picture of a fox in a dashing pose looking sassy.

This just came in the mail mail! By @mcflycahill90.bsky.social
@dartbeef.bsky.social shared a comment that he made announcing it’s publication, and I love to support writers and artists of all types! The cover immediately captured my attention, and I can’t wait to get started!

I would pick that up just for the cover. Putting it on my tbr list as we speak!

2025 garlic harvest. This should get us through the fall and part of the winter! Prepping a new garlic bed for next year. #garlic #gardens #maine #gardensky 🌱

Lots and lots of sun. Where I’ve been planting them has good drainage too. I’ll keep trying!!!

Poppies, yes. Breadseed poppies. Not sure how California poppies would do in Maine. Maybe my uncle will let me dig a few plants up next spring and I can start a patch that way. His self seed so well.

Maine. And they would if they would even sprout. But I can’t seem to get the seeds to even sprout. :( I planted some in the winter and some in the spring and none of them came up. Maybe the birds got them.

I’ll try that. Will try winter sowing again too. I will NOT give up! :)

I will start preparing some bare ground for them in the fall! And mark it. Otherwise it will be covered in snow and I’ll lose the spot.

I think they’re just annuals though my uncle’s self seed year after year. I’ll try starting them inside next spring. I am flummoxed.

I wonder if I covered them too much. I’ll try again this winter! Thanks!

I can’t even get seeds started. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong!

Hey Gardening Blue Sky! Does anyone have tips on growing poppies? I can never get them to grow. My grandmother had lovely ones, which my uncle has the later generations of in his garden. But mine never grow. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Maine! Enjoying this break in the heat!? My new air conditioner was delivered today. So, you’re welcome. πŸ˜‚
It will be nice to have one newer than 15 years old if it gets hot again!

Had my first client facing call in three years at the new (old) job and it felt like coming home! My position is a little bit different now, but still exciting and fun, and I’m so happy to be getting back into the swing of things!!! It’s so nice to wake up excited to go to work!

It’s one of the few things that grow well here, and I make an insanely good relish with it, and have oodles of other good recipes. I’ll take what I can get with this ridiculous growing season!

I think I planted ~1,067 zucchini seeds this year so it’ll likely be a bumper crop! Saved!

The first sunny Saturday in 14 weeks. I had a lazy, quiet day. And a new job starting on Monday-going back to the software company I used to work for! I can’t wait.

Beautiful chaos garden. This year I dumped all my older seeds out in the back wild part of my yard. It likely won’t be as pretty, but we shall see what comes up. I think I’ll dump some native flowers too, seeing this.
