The Grapes are Coming, the Grapes are Coming!

Well, soon anyway. Hopefully they will all stay safely covered up and get well watered from this weekend’s Nor’easter!

Happy #FlowerFriday from our late summer garden, where a few different blooms are still showing up to keep our summer vibes flowing!

(Please note the tomato 🍅 is a volunteer! Welcome to the #NorthEnd??)

Close up view of a single pink flower blossom with delicate petals with notches around the edges in a bed of silvery green narrow leaves.

Finally safe to say, we’ve never had such a bounteous pear 🍐 harvest as 2026! Our #BartlettPear’s branches have bent & bowed for months but big, healthy pears are finally starting to drop, allowing us to collect them to blett & fully ripen indoors before eating. #FruitFriday
A pear tree in a brick courtyard is fully laden with ripening light green to yellow fruits, branches bent over looking like they might break thanks to the weight pulling them low to the ground. Lone, light green pear in dappled shade hanging from a pear tree branch in a brick courtyard. Pear tree with full leaves and many ripening pear pulling down the bending branches in a brick courtyard next to a gray clapboarded 17th century house set beneath a brilliant blue sky. Bowing branches of a pear tree fully laden with almost ripe fruit against a backdrop of a brick courtyard and long brick wall of an 18th century three story home.

Happy #WalksOnWednesday from the “front” of our Visitor Center, 5 & 6 Lathrop Place as it get its first fresh coat of paint in 16 years (since we stabilized the exterior of the adjoining two family houses in 2010.) Southeastern Painters always do great work at our site!

The exterior is actively being painted by a man in a neon t-shirt up on a ladder at the height of the second story windows. Left side of the front of a three story wooden building in the process of being prepared for painting on the light gray clapboards. A painter in a bright neon t-shirt is working up on a ladder leaning against a fire escape in front of two second floor windows.

Happy #FlowerFriday from our tallest bloom, a volunteer who grows annually in our Hichborn House courtyard.
Close up view of a tall plant with bright purple blossoms at the end of long stalks with long, thin green leaves growing next to a three story brick 18th century house. Close up view of a cluster of bright purple blossoms amongst long dark green leaves.
