#BostonWeekend, a🧵 for 🫵 - Sep 18-20th, the last weekend of Summer 2026. Please boost to loop in our new #Boston #Massachusetts neighbors. Rain Sunday, almost 80 Friday but cooler after, break out a light jacket for 50-64 temps on Sat. With semesters in full swing again after the Allston Christmas moving season, everything is happening fast and at all at once. Enjoy, enjoy your #NewEngland, lets get to events worth the trip, pow! 1/x #Poll Q: fave gear for 60F temps outside?

Its nothing like the storm of '78. Have a feeling this #noreaster may not be as bad as the news is reporting. The weather people are way too excited. I get the feeling that since there has been no hurricanes this season they are itching for a storm to report on. Still charging the powerpacks, cleaned up the yard, and have enough food to get through a few days without power just in case. #newengland #storm #boston

I can't remember where I got this information, but I heard that it's best to leave as much of the stem as possible when harvesting winter squashes. Here can be seen that small pieces of the vine were left attached so that the entire stem is intact. I believe it's supposed to help with long-term storage. BTW, this is a mini variety of butternut called "Butter Baby". We like them. #Gardening#Allotment#NewEngland#GYO#GrowYourOwn#Squash#Harvest

@AJ_andrew69@mastodon.social @gbsills@social.vivaldi.net For those not from #NewEngland, this was a thing. I still see a lot of "Town Farm Roads" in New England where the #TownFarms used to be. Forgotten New England The Town Farm – A Victorian-Era Solution to #Poverty by Ryan W. Owen, Writer and Photographer "Town farms were Victorian society’s equivalent to today’s homeless shelters, nursing homes, and mental hospitals. Often relegated to a far corner of town, unseen, forgotten, and hopefully self-sufficient, the town farm was created to instill a sense of industriousness and self-sufficiency in paupers who would, in turn, provide what labor they could to help run the farm. And, throughout most of the nineteenth century, it worked. The town farm in Billerica, Massachusetts once spanned over 150 acres, including 75 acres of forests. In 1880, the Billerica town farm housed some twenty employees and paupers, in addition to its horses, cows, pigs, and chickens." https://forgottennewengland.com/2011/10/11/youre-going-to-send-us-to-the-poor-fahm/ #PoorFahm #NewEnglandHistory
