You can’t beat the “Sunset’ series of books.
And, I used to watch ‘The Victory Garden’ on PBS. The cook (Marian?) taught me that not every meal needed to include meat (LOL!) and Roger Swain was so dedicated to growing root vegetables, it was nearly cult-like. ;)
Grandmother moved to California and gave mother a subscription to sunset. I never got to California to enjoy Pacific beaches or took a wine tour, but I do use their cook books!
Everything tucked in for the winter up in SD?
Cleaning the garage and rearranging and throwing out stuff today. Cold tomorrow, maybe rain. Might have another 2-3 weeks of warm (40-50 degree) days here in KS.
