Midsummer is almost upon us. The sun is shining on The Magick Garden here in Maine. The peas, green beans, scallions, tomatoes and rhubarb are growing-as are the weeds. Aaargh! Oh for the day when I can give up my job and spend all my time doing what I love. I’m hoping that I can get some much-needed weeding done this weekend. I have harvested some thyme (wish I could harvest some “time!”), and have crafted about 25-30 Garden Leaves thus far. Most of these are smallish and I will put some aside for those who wish to purchase one for the upcoming Faery Garden class. The others will go with me to the Farmington Summer Festival in July (more details on both of these below…).
My search for the perfect home for myself and The Magick Garden marches onward. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere and will show up when the time is right. I will continue to keep everyone posted. You may follow The Magick Garden on Facebook, and sign up for my newsletter to keep updated on the latest news.
