As every season ends, I find myself looking forward to the next, waiting impatiently for what it has to offer. Although I love the rain of winter, the blooming flowers of spring and long summer nights, fall seems to be my favorite. I look forward to pumpkin harvesting, the beautiful changing of the leaves, and the crisp morning air. As our spring crops produce its final harvest, I will miss my tomato plants most. Their amazing flavor that no store bought tomato could ever come close to.
I find so much joy getting my nieces and nephews out in the garden to harvest. Teaching them where their food comes from and how to appreciate the outside world. This season I think they enjoyed harvesting the carrots most. This season, my nephew harvested a carrot and yelled with excitement, “The carrot is warm,” and my nieces eagerly pulled and felt them in astonishment, next came the many curious questions of why and how.
