A comforting one-skillet dinner that’s just right for busy fall evenings. This creamy tortelloni is easy, satisfying, and one the whole family will enjoy. @MarleySpoon#MarleySpoon
What delicious foods did you enjoy this summer? Up at Skylands, my home in Maine, we had an array of wonderful dishes - seafood, pasta, salads and of course pizza night. See today’s https://t.co/O7idwyN3Ol.
By this time of year, many of the garden’s plants have already reached their peak of bloom and are beginning to fade, but the trees at my farm are putting on a spectacular show of their own. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
Facing the long and winding pergola at my farm is my Stewartia garden, which is filled with so many lush plants this time of year - flourishing Epimediums, Syneilesis, Brunnera, hostas and more. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
To keep my long handmade yew dining table looking its best, I make sure to care for it properly. It is stored indoors during the winter season and oiled twice a year. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
A consistent grooming routine is one of the best ways to keep pets healthy, comfortable, and looking their very best. My dogs are brushed daily and checked carefully for ticks and fleas, and they get regular baths every couple of weeks. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
When I purchased my farm I built a long, winding pergola supported by antique granite uprights, where I could grow lots of clematis. Beginning in late spring, the vines burst into bloom, producing a magnificent display that continues throughout the summer. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
As dahlia plants grow taller, their hollow stems need support to keep the blossoms upright. See how I do this every year using wood and jute twine, ensuring the flowers remain strong, healthy, and beautiful throughout the season. It’s today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
Logee’s Plants offers hundreds of unusual tropical flowering and fragrant specimens that perform well in pots. I recently brought home a selection of rare and interesting begonias from Logee’s. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i
Recently, I partnered with the Friends of John Jay Homestead to host a remarkable Semiquincentennial celebration, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
Tan Tan ramen is one of my favorite comfort meals. This version combines glazed ground chicken, homemade chili oil, and bok choy in a creamy broth that's ready in under 30 minutes. @MarleySpoon#MarleySpoon
Last weekend the Friends of John Jay Homestead joined me in hosting a spectacular celebration of our nation’s Semiquincentennial, honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In preparation for the big event, it was "all hands on deck.” See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
Here at my farm, my gardeners, housekeepers, stable team, and outdoor grounds crew are constantly working off a running list of important tasks. Aside from making sure the farm functions at its best, I also do a lot of entertaining during the warmer months, so everything must be in perfect order. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
A living maze is a puzzle of tall plantings - tall enough to prevent those walking through from seeing the paths ahead. The maze includes rows, openings, and various dead ends, but only one true route leading to the center. I created one at my farm and it’s a-maze-ing. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
I'm getting close to finishing my living maze, and it's looking better and better with the planting of each row. I can't wait to share the completed maze with you soon. See where we are in the process on today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
My maze is in a pasture that extends from outside my Winter House all the way down to my long Boxwood Allée. I started the three-acre course in the spring of 2022. Over the last couple of weeks, we've been working hard to mark the last rows, remove the sod, rototill the soil, select the plants, and get them into the ground. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
Yesterday, I welcomed a group of winners from an auction run by @WaveHill, the charming non-profit 28-acre public garden and cultural center in the Bronx, New York. Despite cloudy skies and light showers, the guided walk took them through my various gardens, groves, and allées. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
When I moved to my farm, I designated three separate areas as hayfields, so I could grow lots and lots of delicious, nutritious hay. Last week, my outdoor grounds crew worked hard to cut, fluff, rake, and then bale the hay in all three areas. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
It’s always so rewarding to know well cared for perennials will return year after year, often becoming more lush and more resilient with each passing season. Recently, I received a large assortment of beautiful plants grown by Monrovia. See today’s https://t.co/rZ2hRP1D2i.
Last month I created a new, formal rose garden. I planted more than 140 new rose bushes to add to the existing roses transplanted years ago from the gardens at Lily Pond, my former home in East Hampton, New York. I surrounded them all with a border of young boxwood. And just weeks later, many of the flowers are in bloom - so colorful and so fragrant. See today’s https://t.co/ATNSECcjdS.
