It's always good to think ahead. And for me, November is bittersweet. While I have to say farewell to this year's plot, I also get to revel in my plans for next year's garden!

As the winter weather begins creeping in, I like to spend the month of November with my sights on sunny weather to come. There's nothing like getting cozy with some big plans for your garden of the future!

Growing on the High Plains

Skip Mancini

Years ago Skip Mancini left the rocky coast of Northern California to return to her roots in the heartland. Her San Francisco friends, concerned over her decision to live in a desolate flatland best known for a Hollywood tornado, were afraid she would wither and die on the vine. With pioneer spirit, Skip planted a garden. She began to learn about growing not only flowers and vegetables, but hearts and minds. If you agree that the prairie is a special place, we think you'll enjoy her weekly sojourns into Growing on the High Plains.
