Fall

I grew up in southern California, where beach bonfires were a regular occurrence — and anytime I find myself around a small outdoor fire pit in my friend’s Brooklyn backyard, that magic glow of warmth and nostalgia comes right back to me. I’d like to have a fire pit of my own one day, especially with how cold last winter was, and this customizable smokeless fire pit by SharkNinja looks like a great choice — and you can get it for $100 cheaper at Costco right now.

I love fall gardening. Beans, peas, and leafy greens like lettuce and spinach grow better in cool weather and are ready to harvest in about a month. Plus, I find it amazing that certain crops like carrots, beets, and kale develop natural sugars the colder it gets, so they actually taste better after the weather turns chilly. But fall gardening can be tricky.
