It rained almost everywhere on the Coast early Saturday morning.  It’s always best to let the soil dry out a little before you go tilling or walking in your garden.  Wet soils will compact down making it difficult for growing roots to penetrate, as well as future waterings or fertilizer to reach roots deep down.  If you have clay based soils, tilling or planting in your garden when it is wet will only produce soil balls that are hard to break up once they dry.

So when it rains….stay out of the garden for a little while.  Let Mother Nature do her nurturing and you can follow in her footsteps just a day or so later.  If you live in a very sandy soil area, the above may not apply.  Hopefully though, you have amended your planting beds and vegetable gardens with compost, soil conditions and the like so they are no longer sandy.

This Saturday Alex & Brett’s will be sampling some fabulous pics of wine along with  tasty treats from their offerings at their gourmet grocery & bakery in Morehead City.  David Cain, Cainos BBQ will have his smoker set up on the perimeter of our patio/fountain area.    He will be serving up some samples of his slow smoked, hand rubbed baby back ribs, chicken and pulled Boston Butt BBQ right off the grill (smoker).  You can even purchase a bottle of wine and rack of ribs to take home for dinner if you like.

Tony Reese, a local Cape Carteret resident, will cater to the creative arts with his paintings of some awesome landscapes….completed in just a few hours.  For those of us old enough to remember TV artist, Bob Ross…. Tony follows his footsteps and will be painting a landscape during the two hour Wine Tasting Event.

All of these happenings will be to the easy listening, live music of Van and Jennifer Manuel.  Seasoned vocalists and musicians, just having relocated to Beaufort, they are making their debut  here on the Crystal Coast at the event.

So grab your friends and family and come on over to Carolina Home and Garden Saturday to sip wine, stroll through our beautiful, in full bloom gardens and relax by the koi pond and fountain with some great food and music.
