Did the Value of Your Home Change Last Month?

It's completely natural for homeowners to feel curious about their property values for a multitude of reasons—perhaps you're contemplating selling, considering refinancing, or simply wondering how much your home has appreciated since your purchase. Just enter your address below   Whatever your motivation, Pam Boyle & Associates is here to offer you a far more precise and objective market analysis than online estimates (i.e. Zillow).  While these online valuations can serve as a useful starting point, they often fail to capture the unique characteristics of your home, such as its condition, upgrades, and other critical factors that can significantly impact its true value.  I can relate to this firsthand; I was surprised to discover that my own home's square footage was inaccurately represented on several automated valuation sites!   If you're ready to gain a clearer understanding of your property's worth, don’t hesitate to reach out for a comprehensi...

A TO DO LIST YOU WILL LOVE: May Gardening Tips



Be thankful for the sunshine again and things beginning to grow in the garden!

  • Harden off transplants.
  • Sow lots of flowers & herbs for the bees and wild pollinators to increase biodiversity.
  • Transplant the warm season crops mid-month or earlier with hoop tunnel or frost protection and add compost or seasoil under each plant. 
  • Transplant the remaining brassicas and add compost under each plant. Sow lettuce and radishes around brassicas as a bumper crop until plants get larger.
  • Continue succession sowing the ‘come and cut again’ greens after the May heat wave for June (many usually bolt by now).
  • Harvest early spring crops. Pull up any overwintered veggies and replace with transplants. 
  • Be super excited not to worry about last spring frost. Our last frost is May 20th although it’s often end of April. Early May I always expect a frost and have heavy weight row cover handy to cover plants if needed.
  • Create a good watering rhythm in the mornings. 
  • Keep an eye for bolting plants and pests. Constant vigilance is the best gardening technique!
  • Sow flowers for companion planting and to attract beneficial insects and bees.
  • Thin out plants so they have space to grow and use thinnings in a salad or stir fry.
  • Keep up with bi-weekly weeding.
  • Direct sow any warm season crops if not growing transplants (bean, corn etc). Only seed bolt resistant lettuce varieties.
  • Continue composting.
