It may have been the long Memorial Day weekend â the official kickoff to summer â but with all the rain and low temperature, I don't think there were too many outdoor celebratory festivities. Despite the inclement weather in the Berkshires, I did manage to get a few things done, like bringing flowers to family gravesites in Southview Cemetery â which, by the way, is worth driving through. Kudos to all the families and organizations that worked so hard to make it beautiful â and in my case, tear-provoking. I made my annual run to the greenhouse, picking up a six-pack of unlabeled tomato plants â are they cherry, grape, roma, big boy, heirloom? Only time will tell and it gives me something to anticipate. The zucchini plants weren't quite ready, but they're going to let me know when I can get some. Despite the devastating â to me and the plants! â powdery mildew fiasco a few years ago, I'm going to try again.
