Caroline's Garden Daybook

Outside my window..... my roses are blooming
I am planning.....to visit the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens sometime soon
I am harvesting.....lots of radishes, strawberries and the first pea pods
One of my favorite garden things.....hummingbirds
I am reading.....Seasonal Herbs from Caprilands: Step by Step in the Herb Garden by Adelma Grenier Simmons
My favorite garden quote this week is....."It is good to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought." ~James Douglas, Down Shoe Lane
Creatures I saw in my garden this week..... A big, brash raccoon. I also saw a mama turkey with her little chicks in a meadow.
To-dos for the rest of the week.....weed, weed, weed and weed some more.
