Bailey invokes the image of a childhood brook in winter to describe the merits and mysteries of the season, which offer invaluable observational outdoor opportunities for the naturist-at-heart. Ultimately, connecting to nature can happen in any season: "Winter or no winter, it matters not: the fields lie beyond."

This essay celebrates the joy of flowers, which are described as part of the "background" of the common day. The sense appeal of blossoms represents more than profit, botany, or gardening. It is the "fragile intimate brotherhood with the earth."

The garden-sentiment (referred to here as an "affection") is not just about growing seasonal fruiting plants, but also about the "good quality that one gets directly from fresh vegetables or merit" as opposed to commercial produce.

This chapter presents a meditation on the peach as made up of unique chemical combinations fused through processes involving the elements of soil, water, and sun, and asserts that the resulting fruit is nothing less than a miracle.

The botanical process of a plant growing, from germination of a seed in the earth to stem, leaf, and eventual flowering, is described in detail and is regarded as an alchemical miracle that cannot be explained.

Meditations on the physical beauty of the apple, potato, and pumpkin highlight this chapter. "I am convinced that we need much to cultivate this appreciation of the physical perfectness of the fruits that we grow," Bailey writes, "for this may contribute a good part of our satisfaction of being in the world."

This poem provides a glimpse into Bailey's famously rigorous work ethic, describing the "overtone" of his visible, known daily affairs, but it places higher value on the "undertone," or the "all-silent stream" of the individual's personality, artistically expressed through gardening, through poetry, and through life.

This chapter indicates that the "first considerations of special study [in natural history] should be the inhabitants of your yard and garden." The common and the near-at-hand are privileged over the wild and the exotic. The chapter concludes with a sonnet by Henry Timrod, "I Scarcely Grieve."
