Amber Waves Farm will host a community dig at which guests have been invited to dig and harvest dahlia tubers from its farm fields on Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
Originally planted five years ago, the tubers have multiplied and propagated to number more than 15,000, providing years of flowers to thousands of Amber Waves guests.
Farming apprentice graduates have also received tubers to plant in their own farms across the country. The cost is $10.
Memorial Day weekend was a washout at East Hampton Village’s vaunted beaches, but inclement weather did not dampen the enthusiasm felt by Sean Daly for his new role as the village’s chief lifeguard, succeeding Drew Smith.
Elizabeth Parsons Edwards (1874-1943), seen in this undated photo, worked her family farm on Fireplace Road, canning vegetables and making everything from butter to clothing to music.
New York City residents who plan to spend Memorial Day weekend on the South Fork and commuters who rely on the train to cut through the eastbound morning traffic were breathing easier as of Monday night, when a strike called by a coalition of five Long Island Rail Road unions was settled.
