Summer’s tasks include making sure that you make critical choices about which plants to nurture and which to let go of as they start to grow, take root and take up room. Your ability to make decisions about the garden has largely shifted from what new ideas to introduce to which ideas to cultivate. The summer can be said to be ending when plants begin to be harvestable, and in the business context, this means that we move to the fall when we begin to be able to move to a maintenance phase where we realize the benefit of our work in consistent, long-term revenue or other results.
