Despite longer days and warming temps, gardens remain hesitant to unfurl leaves and flowers.

Does a combination of avoidance and loss of interest describe how you feel about fall gardening?

Unlike The Light Brigade you shall emerge victorious.

In the refreshing fall air, you reflect on how you gladly toiled all season caring, feeding, weeding, and nurturing your flowering plants.

Every time I visit the barber shop, I know I shall receive much more than a fresh cut.

Peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, bush beans, and greens are there for you to enjoy. Push through the July heat, focusing on essential tasks.

Having completed your early morning chores that doubled as a workout, you confidently leave the garden looking and feeling better.
