Late summer garden travails

    Late summer gardening is both a joy and some of the hardest work of the year.  Keeping up a schedule of planting, weeding, pest control and harvesting makes for long summer evenings and weekends of toil.  The payoff is a fairly easy Sept. and Oct. of mostly harvesting the crops you spent your July and August nurturing.  With the move of Casa Monzeglio to a more constrained location, my gardening activity next year should be considerably less.  As the Divine Mrs. M says, it is time to start smelling the roses instead of spraying and fertilizing them!
