In The Garden
Cool weather, wind and fog has been blowing in the past couple days. My dad came to visit today and he noted that the summer afternoon wind on Sonoma mountain is one of the most familiar feeling he has in all his memories. Yesterday afternoon Miles, Elli and I finished preparing the last few beds in the winter garden section. The wind was blowing strong, leaves rustling up a roar in the trees, swaying young broccoli and cabbage held their own, and our brussles sprouts are off to the best start we have ever seen. Enough about those brassicas cool season crop harvest is just about done until the shorter cooler days of autumn return. I'm sure everyone would rather hear about hot summer stuff right now, but we always have to be planning ahead.
