Description

From planting time in autumn through high blue winter days to rich, hectic weeks of summer when garlic, basil, flowers, and vegetables are harvested, Crawford evokes the great adventure of getting back to the land–and the vivid mysteries of the earth, wind, water, seed, bulb, and stalk.

Description

From his small farm high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, the award-winning author of Mayordomo explores the vivid mysteries of earth, wind, water, seed, bulb, and stalk. Autumn tillings, parakeet-blue winter days, and rich, hectic weeks in summer when garlic, basil, flowers, and vegetables are harvested for markets in Taos and Santa Fe--each season transforms both the landscape and the remarkable plant, top-setting garlic, that has become Stanley Crawford's passion.
