For many, the end of summer is a moment when they feel that their favorite seasonal foods are passing and this is a sad moment. But for me, there is nothing more glorious than the fall harvest that is to come.
There’s still time to plant more radishes and broadcast seeds of lettuce, spinach and Asian greens in beds where alliums, spring beets and potatoes grew.
As I enjoyed the sense of relief from the summer heat, I realized I wanted a spot in my summer garden that was dedicated to softer, cooler tones of silver, green and white.
I realize that my disdain for yellow leaves is not for the color itself, but for its unconscious overuse. For instance, yellow-leaved evergreen conifers, such as ‘Skylands’ spruce and gold false cypresses, always seem more chlorotic than colorful.
I have been shocked by how little gardeners often know about the structure of plants and flowers. A visit to the Harvard Museum of Natural History has made me look at plants in a new manner.
