0:18.0

garden then spring then summer which is interesting almost sacrilegious and I don't count winter because we don't really have one at least in San Diego.

0:26.4

How would you rank them? I guess I think you're right to write summer last but it's also the best at the same time.

0:33.6

I know I know it's like my favorite harvest are in summertime but I also kind of get burnt out

0:39.0
