From “The Harvest”
I ended yesterday’s post by quoting a stirring bit of rhetoric about getting down to the work of the land, and that is exactly what Pollan describes at the beginning of chapter 8 of Second Nature, the beginning of the Fall section: the overwhelming, bittersweet work of gathering late summer and fall garden abundance.
