The colors, scents, memories, food, fruits of the harvest. What is there not to love about fall? Although, to be fair, I do relish the change in seasons as they roll around every quarter and guide us gently (sometimes not so gently) into the next season. Some of you may recall my July letter that mentioned 2013 being the year that we planted our first garden. Well, fall is here and we’ve been busy harvesting, learn- ing what to do better next time. (Don’t plant the zucchini in the middle of the garden, where it grows over the lettuce and radishes. Don’t plant so many tomatoes. Write down what we plant or use garden markers so we know what’s growing.) Despite the lessons, we are enjoying the succulent tomatoes, gigantic zucchini and flavorful rad- ishes that we nursed from seedlings or starter plants. How has our life changed with this wonderful garden? It’s given us topics for discussions with friends old and new. We’ve tried new recipes, such as zucchini boats (not a hit). We’ve made plans for a “salsa-making Saturday.” I see more salads in our future. Possibly canning too, but that was not something I was drawn to. My grand- mother canned and it seemed she was always complaining about it. I think I’ve been pre-programmed to see it as a lot of work.

May all your gardens (literal and metaphorical) be blooming and gorgeous! The tomato plants grew taller than our three-foot metal plant holders and the one zuc-
chini plant totally took over the garden.
