I’ve been eating asparagus, rhubarb and young walking onions from the garden. I’m also harvesting chives and pinches of my basil seedlings.

In Wisconsin by the time November rolls around, we’ve usually had our first frost. Sometimes we’ve already had our first snow, too.

If July’s garden stars were purple poppies, August’s are sunflowers.

The purple poppies have been stealing the show around here lately.
