New Hampshire this week! Beautiful!

10 years ago

Friend just got back, yesterday, from a fall foilage trip and shared his photo's with me. Used his NIKON D60. Took this at a stop in New Hampshire and they said the leaves won't be at their peak for two more weeks.

Nature at one of it's finest!

Got one to share?

Almost all of the New England states are beautiful in the fall. I guess Maine & New Hampshire are the best. Then comes Vermont, Massachusetts & Connecticut..

We were from CT & always went to NH in the fall. Their peak is around the 15th of Oct. I remember one year we were there on 10/20 & there was 6" of snow.

New Lawn seed dying after 4 beautiful weeks of growth!!!???

Jackallenss, The author of the link is complaining about labelled bags of grass seed that don't specify what's in it. The purchaser has to read the contents carefully to know what they're getting. If the bag is labelled tall fescue, it will contain tall fescue. All the more reason to avoid something called 'contractors mix'. It's not clear what it contains. I think what you and Ibanez don't understand is pennington, scotts, etc... don't actualy produce grass seed. They buy it from seed farms and package it. They sell many different cultivar mixes, so you can't say their seed is good or bad, you can merely state that a particular cultivar that their bags contain may be good or bad. What they have in their bags tends to vary from year to year based on availibility and price. When I buy seed, I always read the label. While I haven't memorized the stats for every fescue seed, there are a few common ones that do well for me and I tend to buy them. For example, scotts uses wolfpack and tar heel. Both have done well for me in the past, so I'll look for them. I've had bad luck with rebels, so I avoid it.

New Hampshire Hostas nursery - anyone been there?
Q
Comments (10)
narcnh, DH and I stopped there yesterday. As borninmaine stated, they have one greenhouse dedicated to hostas, about 2/3 of that are 3-4 inch pots, and the back 1/3 are bigger (maybe 3 gallon) pots. They all looked healthy and there was a good variety. I wasn't as impressed with the shrubs and perennials. They were just OK. We didn't get a chance to look at the annuals, because it started down pouring. I will probably go back at some point, definitely if I am looking for hostas. What I didn't like, about the perennials and shrubs, was that many of them looked like last year's leftovers. I didn't speak with anyone there, besides a friendly hello from the owner (I am assuming). They seem to have a pretty good rating on Garden Watchdog, as far as orders arriving well packaged and healthy. I am not sure where in NH you are located, but if the shipping cost is close to what you would be spending in gas, I would probably go the online route. If you are going to be in the area, it is worth stopping by for a look. I hope this is helpful.

First blooms of the season in zone 4 New Hampshire

Thank you all for kindly commenting! Sherry, no I don't have any issues with rabbits. I have rarely seen any around here since it is mostly wooded and no fields...but.....I have had a deer problem in years past. They don't bother my gardens anymore. Apparently deer have a good memory and don't ever want to be sprayed by the motion activated sprinklers again! I haven't used the devices the past couple years and have had zero issues. Maryl, I was born in south Georgia and I remember my Granny's camellia bushes and how I loved them. I have lived up here in NH since 1974 and I love it here but I still long for and wish I could grow camellias! So you are right about zone envy.

I have been through the New England States in fall twice. The fall colors are indeed beautiful, but they have nothing on Pennsylvania. This pic was taken last year on Oct. 13. The color change this year is either behind schedule or it is going to be a rather dull year.

About 15 years ago, we did a tour of New England (Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Maine). We mapped our tour to covered bridges. It was foggy and rainy for 1/3 of the time, but after cold fronts came through, we had cool, clear days for some of the best leaf looking and photographing. I rated New Hampshire as having the best color that year. We did get to the eastern edge of Maine and witnessed the tide created reversing falls.

On the way home, we stopped at Watkin's Glen in New York. There were some gorgeous trees in the Glen.

This was one of the best fall color trips we have ever made.

I did bus tour, with seniors, years back, to all the New England states.

We were there right as colors peaked! Beauty in abundance everywhere.

Would love to do that trip again. We were gone 2 weeks.
