Now is when I plant Spring crops. Even in the harshest of climates, well timed late plantings get just established enough to be vital come the thaw but not so mature that all the tissue is damaged over winter. This is how you both protect your family for the Spring "hunger gap" between the time the soil can be planted and the first harvest. And also how you beat every other farmer to market with salad, peas, sugar carrots, brassicas and beets.
When the angle of the sun shifts at the end of Summer it hits early sprouting Autumn chard and beet leaves in a way that sparkle and shine in unique way. Living in tune with nature shows you God's beauty in unimaginbale ways.
25 years ago the World Trade Center Towers "dustified".
Steel decomposed into dust as it fell.
Here is an image drawn by the Israeli "Art" group E Team. This very creepy drawing depicts the tower as a tornado spinning into dust ๐ช๏ธ
We crossed the rubicon that day.
