Wordless Wednesday: The Waning Garden
August is a time of abandonment. We want to leave town, and our garden can look less than stellar as punishing heat dries up the soil. At least that's the case here in Los Angeles. Late planting (in late June/early July) brings some life to the garden as hot weather crops take off. The harvest is bountiful, and it is a time to watch nature's circle of life round the corner.
