		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever grown their own lettuce has probably neglected one or two plants, and as the season gets on they start to grow in a peculiar way: upwards, instead of outwards. This is known as “bolting.” With a little careful husbandry, these seeds will be yours to plant, nurture and consume. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even though it makes sense that your tomato vines should be at their largest and lushest on the longest day of the year –June 21st— to get the very most out of summer&#8217;s life-giving sunshine, they probably won&#8217;t get that enormous until July or maybe even August. Their growth depends on photoperiod (how much light [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve weeded, double-dug and enriched your tomato beds and they&#8217;re looking so beautiful and inviting you&#8217;re tempted to climb in, yourself.

		<description><![CDATA[Year after year, surveys invariably discover that the Number 0ne Favorite Veg of America’s backyard gardeners is the tomato, in any of its diverse forms – and often as not, in more than one of them. Why? It’s not just the pleasure (or even the economy) of being able to “do it yourself.” The reason is quality of flavor.

This enchanting fruit had been domesticated in Ecuador for nearly 7,000 years before it was discovered by Europeans in 1492. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the distant undemanding past, in those trouble-free days B.C. (Before Children), unburdened as we were even by cordless telephones, car alarms or e-mail, my wife and I were given a fluffy eiderdown comforter as an anniversary present.  I expect it cost a fortune as my mother, the donor, was typically generous with this kind of thing; it certainly seemed big enough, sitting there all boxed up on our porch one afternoon, like a smallish hippopotamus packed for transport.  I fancied the FedEx driver must have felt grateful to get half his van freed up for the trip home.]]></description>

There is nothing quite like the harvest time, but some fall seasons can bring an embarrassment of riches. Not so long ago, the neighborhood where I live was one of California&#8217;s premiere apple growing regions. Even though most of the old farms have given way to more lucrative wine grape cultivation, the months of October, [...]]]></description>
