When we get busy, our tendency is to put things off until we have a big chunk of time to devote to a task.

After all, isn’t it nice to take the winter off to rest, recuperate, and have time for other things? When I first learned about extending the harvest throughout the entire year, I was hesitant.Īt the end of the official growing season, I’m so worn out that I look forward to the break! I believe the seasons ebb and flow for a reason, and that when the trees and soil are resting, so should I.
