This past summer was so hot and dry, most days didn't have many clouds. But on those rare rainy days the sunsets were spectacular. The heat was so bad, I was glad I hadn't planted my own garden - I tried community supported agriculture (a CSA) instead. This helps reduce transportation costs of food and supports local families. Plus, the produce is fantastic! We had eggs, maple syrup and all sorts of vegetables.
Next summer seems a long way off but most gardeners are already thinking ahead to what they will plant next year. Gardening is excellent exercise and the pay off is fresh and (hopefully organic!) bountiful vegetables, fruit and flowers. It's fun to try a few new varieties, also.
There are many online sources like Victory Seed Company for heirloom seeds which are seeds that are not hybrids or genetically modified. Heirloom seed enables gardeners to save viable seed for the next season's planting.
I too had a chance to view some spectacular sunsets this summer. I went on a lot of camping trips to remote places. There is something to be said about sitting on a beach with nobody around for miles watching a beautiful sunset.
