Undaunted
We were gone for a critical week this month. We came home to struggling seedlings and plants. I turned to a resource a friend shared with me when we first moved to Zone 5b: Lauren Springer Ogden’s The Undaunted Garden: Planting for Weather-Resilient Beauty, which presents a solid argument for gardening with a perseverant and resilient mindset. Surprise hail storms, freezes, and parching heat may damage our garden or destroy an entire batch of crops, but we can move forward with lessons and hope for the next growing season.
