It seems to have been ‘late summer’ for a number of weeks, but now that October is nigh it is probably more appropriate to think of it as autumn. The garden has been winding down, admittedly, and there are signs of colour change in the trees, but there is still much of interest in the garden and the roses are certainly in denial in a late flush of excitement. I have begun cutting back where appropriate, but foliage on most perennials is still luxuriously healthy and the first frost is not yet imminent (early December last year, early November the year before).

WHEN YOU SHOP for food—whether produce or meat or eggs—and see a label that says “organic,” what do you think that means? At its most fundamental level, I guess I always thought it meant vegetables grown on the fields of an organic farm—like, in the soil, or animals raised in its pastures.
