THE VERMONT CLIMATE ASSESSMENT
I often mention climate related topics here or on my George Africa or Vermont Flower Farm & Gardens Facebook pages. Climate change is significant and I figure if I can feel the impact on a 4 acre flower farm, others should recognize the change too.
Here is a report worth reading. If you have observations or questions, please share them with others.

This article was posted in the latest online version of the Smithsonian. If you are a gardener you are outside a great deal and you have an opportunity to contract Lyme disease from ticks. There's more than one disease you could contract and none of them are anything you'd ever want.
The article tells about the progress we have made using guinea pigs and applying a testing technology we learned when working on a vaccine for Covid. The results to date are positive. Read on to see where the research is heading from here.
Consider a Visit!
For a couple years now I have posted this link to the Mt. Cuba Center in Delaware. My theory has been that maybe some of those heading south for the winter might be going early enough to stop in Delaware if they were not yet familiar with this special horticultural magnet. In the previous years a couple travelers each time thanked me for mentioning it. If you have visited there and have any comments that might encourage people to stop, please post here.
