August 2, 2019 Going to Seed, Thomas Gainsborough, Hawaiian Potatoes, Franklinia, Wallace Stevens, William Watson, The Cook and the Gardener by Amanda Hesser, Mint, and Longwood Gardens

Summary: Right about now you might be thinking about doing a little garden cleanup and preparation for fall.   One of the questions I get from gardeners this time of year has to do with whether or not to let some of your plants go to seed.   After spending most of the summer deadheading and illuminating all of the brown stuff on our foliage, it can be tough for some gardeners to let things go to seed.
