The strawberries are in full bloom and the picking should begin in about three weeks or so with an expected great harvest. The first oven full of strawberry-rhubarb pies will happen then as well.
Almost Memorial Day & Finally Some Warm Weather
A two-day heat wave landed in Maine and the plants are loving it. I will be in Chicago for the holiday weekend but will return with Julian for almost a week's work on the homestead following the holiday so major projects might be revealed in the next post around June 1st. More flowers and perennials are now in full bloom as these pictures show. The wood stash for the winter of 2009-2010 is now just about complete. Approximately three cords are cut, split and stacked as the picture below shows. Each covered pallet holds a little less than a cord. There is only a little more to split and stack to finish this process as the warm weather prompts a refocus on just gardening work now for the summer season.

The grounds look lovely. Wishing that I got over there Memorial Day weekend for an in-person peak at all those beautiful flowers.
