Today was one of those bright and breezy Maine summer days people write home about. So I thought it a perfect excuse to roam about the property enjoying the weather and take some updated photos of the farm for you.
Everything is so lush this time of the year and I have a new camera I have been wanting to try out on you here.
I did manage to get some shots of the perennial display in the front by the road and the garden in front of the barn, which is planted with a lovely display of annuals and topiary from our greenhouses.
But as luck would have it, as I was trying out the zoom on the swans, the battery died!
Oh well, I promise to try again soon. It has been so sunny this summer, I have been waiting for a few clouds to roll in for a better exposure. But I'm not about to complain about all the abundant sunshine. Not one bit.
Tony,
ReplyDeleteThe front garden looked magnificent in early August too. Looking forward to returning in September.
I can;t wait to visit someday. I recently moved to Tenn from Colorado and my husband gave me two matching topiaries which specify zones 10-11. I am thinking I should slowly bring these inside for them to thrive. Any thoughts?!

Hi Katie. It is hard to say not knowing what plant your topiary is but it sounds like you are definitely going to want to bring it in for the winter. Here in coastal Maine we keep ours indoors most, if not all, of the time to protect them from extreme temperatures but also to protect them from any abusive outdoor elements like wind, rain, ect. You could click the 'topiary' link in the category menu to see posts where I have gone into more detail about growing topiaries indoors.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps. Good luck!
Finally getting some clouds today and know everything is still looking lush at Snug Harbor! Maybe a good day to take some more beautiful shots of your magical spot? Thought I saw some veggies the other day when I drove by - will need to come see what you've got and pick up some treats. And, have I thanked you lately for getting me into sheep all those years ago? Thank Ewe!
