This Tuesday night will most likely be a hard freeze in the Lakes region, especially Alton area. It’s supposed to get down to 25 degrees which may kill many many of the things that have survived since summer….😢

If you can get out tomorrow, cut/harvest whatever flowers you have left. And any tender perennials or hardy annuals. Bring them in and enjoy them. Dry some herbs and makes some yummy food or gifts with what you can! This is my scented geranium and pineapple sage with red flowers. They finally started flowering, so I have to enjoy them a little longer.🌸☺️ Alternately, if you have old sheets, you can droop them over garden beds to preserve things a little bit longer.

*As of Tuesday afternoon there are still a dozen or so plants left!
FREE PLANTS! Corner of Downing Drive and Rand Hill Rd, Alton Bay…🌱🌱🌱 Mostly perennial herbs, some Mixed Bee Balm, Alpine Strawberries, Lemon Balm, Rosemary, Lavender, etc.

I have plenty of plants and do not have time to get these into the ground at my house… Please take what you can reasonably get into the ground this week or plant jn containers to bring inside. We are getting a frost next weekend at least one of the nights. I’d rather these go to a good home then be killed by frost.

Today I met with a new garden client who already had established raised beds and was adding a bunch more to a different area. We discussed placement, setup, sun, irrigation, and different crops. She was looking to add highbush blueberries, and some fruit trees, and some space for cut flowers as well. 🌱🌸

As a kitchen garden coach, I get to help people just starting out with gardening to help them be more successful…🌱💚🥦🥬🍅 I can also work with more experienced gardeners who already have established beds and want to have more success, and help them be more productive. 🌱🌱🌱 If you’re adding new beds, I can help with placement and set up too!  send me a message and let me know what you’re looking for…

If your garden is still going, enjoy it while you can… ☀️🌱🥬🥦🥗 We are supposed to have the first freeze next weekend overnight. While it’s nice to cover plants with frost protection, I can’t cover everything, and I’ll be sad when the flowers are gone. Cut your tender herbs to use, dry, and freeze. Cut your flowers to bring in and enjoy them!🌸 Some perennial herbs, hearty greens, cool crops may still be usable, even with a light frost… ❄️

The garden is still looking good, despite some cooler weather down to the 30s. It’s only matter of time before a hard frost hits at night. Hopefully we can get towards the end of October before that happens. Enjoying the beauty of the fall garden.🥬🌱🌸💚

Who would like some bunches of kale greens for sauté, soup, kale chips or to put some in the freezer? I have such an abundance… 🥬 I think I have 14 plants between 2-3 different kinds of kale. This is organically grown, so although I will hose the leaves off before I bunch them, you need to wash them first. 🥬 $5 for a fat bunch. Please message me to pick up in Alton Bay this week.💚
