Mount Holly Newsflash - Thursday, August 13, 2020 - Morning edition The weather today in Mount Holly - Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. Southwest wind 0 to 3 mph. Archived Newsflash emails can be read at: https://mthollynewsflash.blogspot.com The Mount Holly Town Library is grateful for your generous donations. However, please bring us your donations when the library is open and there is someone to receive them. Donated material left outside our doors is exposed to the elements. If they get wet, we have no choice but to dispose of them, as wet books cannot be sold or added to the collection. Books that have gotten wet immediately begin to grow mold - the mortal enemy of library collections. Thanks for your cooperation. -- Joe Galbraith, MLS, Library Director Mount Holly Town Library 26 Maple Hill Road Belmont, VT 05730 802.259.3707 Vermont Home Gardener:  August Abundance is Here! It's a great feeling to see your garden in full maturity and producing as much or more than you hoped for.  That's the reward that a hard-working gardener deserves and should enjoy this time of year.  Harvesting is vital to good production, the more you pick the more you get!  Leaving fruits on plants to get over-ripe signals the plants to slow or stop production.  Of course, overabundance can become a burden too, unless we have some good ways to deal with it all.  Let's look at some of the possibilities for too many zucchinis, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. and be prepared for seasonal pests out there now.   Read the full article at Vermonthomegardener.com Hey Communities . . . we all know school will look and feel a lot differently this year. I am trying to build a useful "Home School" reference collection to be found in the Youth Library. The "What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know" Series (through 6th grade) is on back order.
