While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting

Amaseconti (abundance of small fish [herring]). A small
division of the
Abnaki formerly residing in part at Farmington falls, on Sandy r. , Franklin
co., Me., and partly near the present New Sharon, a few miles distant. They took
part with the other Abnaki in the early Indian wars against the English and
joined in the treaty made at Portsmouth, N. H., in 1713. Some of them lingered
in their old homes until about 1797, when the last family removed to St Francis,
lower Canada, where they retained their distinctive name until 1809. (J. M.)
