What I did on my summer vacation

Apologies to Trish Briggs & Ash, who didn't make it to the big screen at the September meeting. This is at Berry Bay in Freedom, part of Lake Ossipee.

Each monthly newsletter will start and end with a horticultural tip:

Fall is a good time to plant or divide many perennials. The ground is warm,

so plants can put their energy toward establishing a root system.

Many perennials are on sale in the fall!

Literary Blooms

To honor our library with monthly flowers in appreciation of their wonderful community spirit.

Do critters eat your tulip bulbs?

To deter them, slather the bulbs with vaseline

before planting them. Some alternatives to tulips include daffofdils, alliums, hyacinths,

muscari, fritillaria, and snowdrops.
