Spent all day yesterday putting my garden to bed. Why is it that just when you think it's time, the weather decides to grace you with more sun and warmth? There was still stuff on the vines but not ripe and now with cooler nights, who knows if or when it will be?? So I capture what I can and the rest goes to compost. At least it will be returned to the earth and provide amazing nutrients for next year's plantings. Of course, it also means that summer is over but Fall is my favorite season so I'm not crying too much about losing 90+degree weather. I LOVE the colors, smells, textures of Fall and am PSYCHED to create dishes using seasonal ingredients!!! Hope your garden provided you with an abundance of bounty, some of which we will be eating over winter (if you're one of 'those' kind who actually took the time to preserve your harvest). In the past, I was one of 'those' but this year my catering was soooo busy that I had to pass. Such is life; I'll eat someone else's efforts. HAPPY FALL!!!
