Canary Media | Balcony solar bills make inroads across New England by Sarah ShemkusSmall, sun-driven power plants could soon be coming to backyards and balconies across New England.

@richrollgardener Good work, BeetBear!

The Westport Observatory's USGS seismic equipment picked up the big M 7.5 earthquake near Neiafu, Tonga this morning. Want to know more about earthquakes — particularly those here in New England? Alan Kafka visits us in April to talk about them!https://was-ct.org/events/alan-kafka/#Earthquake #Seismology #Tonga #NewEngland #WestportObservatory #USGS #AlanKafka #ScienceTalk #Geoscience #EarthScience

BeetBear reminded me that a year ago today I had to be hauled away in an ambulance because my gall bladder had burst. My daughter stepped in and kept the garden stuff going for a week or so until I recovered. ANYWAY... We started bringing stuff up into the greenhouse to make room for more stuff in the grow room. First up is the cabbage and lettuce, which is looking pretty good. Tomorrow we'll make some decisions on what comes up next.#BeetBear #Gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #Zone6b

This tiny crocus is smaller than my thumb, but it's always our 1st flower of spring. It's a naturalized plant of unknown origin, growing in a spot between our driveway and the line of Cedar trees along the property line. I have seen it flowering as early as Feb. 16 & this (Mar. 10th) is as late as it's been. As can be seen in the photo, my "lawn" is more of a meadow, full of cinquefoil, violets, dandelions, plantain, buttercups, etc.#gardening #NewEngland #Spring #Zone6b #BloomScrolling
