Most gardeners that I’ve known (and I work at a garden company, so that’s more than a few to say the least) have expressed a great love for changing seasons. The coming of spring is when most gardeners really thrill, as this is the coming of the best gardening season, and the budding and growing of new plants stirs something deep in the human soul.
For me, though, it is this time of year that opens me up to the world around me most. The first day when it is truly chilly each year is one of the greatest thrills for me. I can taste in the air the promise of what is coming: hooded sweatshirts, autumn veggies, hikes among falling leaves, and football. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and when the weather demands a jacket for the first time of the year I can smell toasting pumpkin seeds just around the bend.
Of course, I say this every year at the beginning of the Fall, and I mean it. But, come Spring, I always end up pronouncing how the beginning of Spring is my favorite time of year. Don’t listen to me then, though. It’s totally Autumn.
