Get those seeds in the ground!

We still have free sunflower seed packets for folks who want to join our sunflower growing contest.  The seeds were provided by the Friends of the Library.

This is prime planting time, so don't miss the opportunity to get something in the ground.  I've been enjoying wonderful lettuce and radishes from my garden every night.  Last week I transplanted tomatoes and peppers.  Everything is in and all the seeds are starting to sprout.  I also planted potatoes in both my Massachusetts and Vermont gardens this year and am excited to see how they do.  It is a true blessing to cook with fresh food. I've made two strawberry rhubarb pies with my fresh rhubarb.  Pretty soon I can make one with my rhubarb and with local strawberries.  That combination is packed with flavor and is a special June treat.

We have many books and magazines at the library to help you with gardening.  Also, click here to find out more about the new community garden at Pingree Park

Winson Morrill's Miniature Ships are HERE!

This afternoon we will display Winson Morrill's ships in bottles and miniature scenes.  Winson lives in Hamilton and exhibits a wealth of talent and knowledge of local history. He was featured on "What's My Line" and on "Chronicle."   Come and enjoy this month long display. Winson is a master artist and recycler.  His ships and miniatures are made from old buildings such as the original Beverly Hospital and Motif No. 1.  Also, he uses vintage bottles and light bulbs!  Come and enjoy this fabulous green art program.
