Kaye brings us up to date with what got out of control in her summer California garden, as well as what produced beautifully. Cucumbers take a turn for the worse. Corn took off, potatoes in pots were harvested. Plums ripened. A California Native Meadow is planted. With original music by Jon Pileggi. Come back for Part 2! This episode follows chronologically “Summer Urban Garden Plantings on Mother’s Day.”
