Who doesn’t love a good tomato, ripe off the vine, warm from the sun and juicy fresh—sweet and yummy? That’s what summer gardening is all about. Enjoying the fresh vegetables from your garden, picked daily, your own work of delicious art.
Rose-breasted grosbeaks are beautiful birds that return to New England from their winter homes in Central and South America to enjoy the fruits and berries that our summer vegetation provides.

On June 3, as part of Connecticut Trails Day Weekend, the Granby Land Trust hosted Michael Wojtech, author of Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast, for a guided walk on the GLT’s Dismal Brook Wildlife Preserve in North Granby.
The Granby Land Trust (GLT) is excited to announce that its new Emery/Hart Trail to the Crag Mountain Lookout is now open. This is an incredible addition to the Seth and Lucy Holcombe Preserve trail system, with spectacular views to the south, east and west.

Six months from now, deep in a January freeze, it will be hard to recall these shining summer days. Birdsong has been replaced by the late afternoon droning of insects. Early summer flowers start to fade and goldenrods and asters brighten the roadside. The harvest season is in high gear with all manner of ripe fruits and vegetables in abundance at local farmstands.
The Friends of Holcomb Farm (FOHF) is one step closer to realizing its vision of providing customers with fresh, locally grown produce and locally made goods year-round.
Welcome to June—the biggest planting month of the year. The soil has warmed up, making the ground a wonderful host for new, young flower and vegetable plants. With the threat of frost behind us, we can safely plant summer gardens.
