In my garden, some crops flourish despite the challenges, while others demand constant attention — from cherry tomatoes still producing in late August to squash battling bugs on vertical trellises. In this week’s encore presentation, I am resharing my August 2024 audio journal, which I recorded in my garden so I could walk you through everything happening with my plants in late summer and the valuable lessons I learned.
