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.

More about growing garlic in NM than I expected, really

Yes, lots about growing garlic, and northern New Mexico seasons. A solid entry in the genre of environmental and philosophical essays written over long spans of reflecting while sitting on a tractor or walking the rows, the sharpest points are in his interactions at markets, asking what vampires we're all afraid of or whether in his considerations of organic inputs and outputs he should interrogate his customers back about where their dollars footprints trace.
