October 19, 2025 🌱 The same maple tree three days later.

Fall comes at you fast.
October 18, 2025 🌱 Virginia jumpseed turning yellow.

I’m not sure whether this is fall color or if this plant is struggling. My other jumpseed plants are still green.
October 17, 2025 🌱 Leafy greens get bitter when the plant blooms, so the sidewalk-crack lime basil is no longer as tasty.

But it still smells every bit as delightful.
October 16, 2025 🌱 The maple tree is still a bright summery green.
Yes, such a pretty grass!
October 15, 2025 🌱 Are y’all bored of all the plants getting their fall fuzz on?

Cause I’m not 😁

Today we have the little bluestem.
October 14, 2025 🌱 The Canada goldenrod is also getting fuzzy. It’s the fuzzy time of year 😁
October 13, 2025 🌱 The white snakeroot is also getting fuzzy.
October 12, 2025 🌱 Missouri ironweed at peak fuzz.
October 11, 2025 🌱 The runt of the columbaby litter.

But it’s hung on so far. Fingers crossed 🤞
October 10, 2025 🌱 Between the roofers, the utility work, and now the painters, this has been a terrible year to be a plant in the vicinity my house.
October 9, 2025 🌱 The tiniest frost aster.
October 8, 2025 🌱 The squirrels have ritually sacrificed black walnuts on my sidewalk.

I feel the need to point out that I don’t have a black walnut tree, and neither do my immediate neighbors. The squirrels import black walnuts from a block over and then chow down in my yard.
October 7, 2025 🌱 Another of the columbabies.
October 6, 2025 🌱 The late boneset is getting mighty fuzzy.
We’re slightly warmer, zone 6a.
October 5, 2025 🌱 The largest of my thyme plants has grown pretty large.
October 4, 2025 🌱 The sea of frost aster is all abuzz.
October 3, 2025 🌱 Showy goldenrod in full bloom, plus a bonus sleeping bumblebee 🥰
October 2, 2025 🌱 The sea of frost aster, plus a bit of early sunflower.
October 1, 2025 🌱 My latest acquisition: large-flowered beardtongue.

Yes, that tiny seedling 😁
