Bits and Pieces of 2026

An incredible milkweed year! Echinacea. June beauty from the Old Pike Road. Snowpeas. Bachelor's buttons. The FIRST ripe tomato, August 24. Bright lights chard. Zephyr squash and shintokawa cucumber, my favorites! September 22. Canada goldenrod. Giant goldenrod. Grass leaved goldenrod. Monarchs on Canada goldenrod. LOTs of Monarchs this year. The canning begins! Dried heal all blossoms. Dried red clover blossoms. The "Old Man" apple tree. October 15. I think this was peak color at Brightside. Sugar maples we planted finally looking like Trees! Sugar maple with two rows of black cherry trees we planted behind. Milk weed pods. Assorted pumpkins! Winter luxury pie pumpkin. I baked more bread this year than ever before. Good decision! Cat in a box. (Leia) Great berry harvest all summer. Blooming lilac in October. Weird. Jack o'lantern mushrooms. Yummy salad greens. Calendula. Yes! That's one broccoli head. Adaptation.
