  • With any luck, your veggie garden is producing tomatoes, zucchini, beans and cucumbers and your flowering shrubs and plants are weathering the drought.
  • Nantucket wakes most summer mornings wrapped in fog, yet the island is deep in drought. With a sole-source aquifer and no neighboring town to lean on, water restrictions have divided the island between lawns left to go golden and lawns kept impossibly green by private wells. A meditation on scarcity, privilege, and the strange beauty of a place learning to live with less water.
  • Jack Gallivan has a lot of questions while at his summer job. Produced by Mae Nagusky and Atlantic Public Media.
  • Twenty years ago, homeless prevention advocates came forward with a plan to end homelessness on the Cape. CAI documented their effort in a series called Two Cape Cods: Hidden Poverty on the Cape and Islands. It was a bold and optimistic plan. But when revisiting the plan in a new reporting series 20 years later, we found that advocates were not anticipating a global pandemic.
  • The Garden Lady started off with a postcard about mid-summer Lavender care. Callers asked about a multitude of garden problems including fungus gnats in a houseplant, growing cucumbers, wild grapes, hydrangeas and carrots.
