This week’s video focuses on the mindset of gardeners who ask, “How should my garden look in September?” It’s hard to compete with glossy design magazines and places that rain. It’s the end of the warm/hot season, so let’s answer that question.
Hint: Most annual vegetables live for only a few months. Then they die. We talk more about that lifecycle and what to expect from your garden in this video.
