May 2021 Yard Work in Massachusetts

Zinnia seeds are growing.  The sunflowers and corn are in too. Relocated some free plants and hope they perk up, a little limp today.  It's a massive empty flower bed above a "septic equipment" area so bushes and trees can't be planted here.  Only perennials and annuals.  A few irises and daffodils are peaking through. 

6 rows of corn, 3 rows of sunflowers
and 4 rows of zinnias and it's still not even covered.

Ice out 2021

Historically the ice has melted completely on the ice as early as April 15 and as late as May 30.  Here are a few shots of the lake in April.  And yes Grandpa was out kayaking today with Rob and went from sunshine, calm, rain, wind and  snow flurries. The  Mayor officially announced ice out today.
