Now is the time to be thinking about the next season in the garden. I feel like I write that statement a lot and I guess I do, as it’s part of life in the garden, we always need to think ahead and like a good boy/girl scout: “Be prepared”.

Our travels around the sun will continue, and nature’s clock will move on whether we get the jobs done or not.
