Midcoast backyard gardeners, we know there are quite a few of you. And your gardens often look fantastic, from Memorial Day right through mid-October. It is obvious you care for them, and your hard work is not taken for granted. 

We admire your efforts, whether it is a small plot or a larger expanse of asparagus, potatoes, peas, broccoli, herbs and flowers.

PenBayPilot.com wants to know what you are planning to focus on this coming growing season (April ice storms notwithstanding). Are you expanding your garden this year? Are you extending your gardening season into two, three or four seasons? Maybe you are concentrating on the best-ever heirloom tomato crop this year. Or, the finest edible flowers?

Please let us know what you have in mind. Send a few paragraphs and a photo, if you have one, from previous gardens, and we will feature your green thumb. Send to news@penbaypilot.com.

We look forward to hearing from you!
