Many residents enjoy hobby gardening of flower and vegetable gardens.  The many challenges include nibbling and stomping of vegetables and flowers by the deer and various vermin.  Changing and unpredictable weather is always a factor but usually frost is not an issue during July and August. One resident finds watering his greenhouse plants a particular challenge since his cat has discovered the joy of warm sun on her back and cool soil on her tummy amid his cucumber plants.
