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 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.
A sidewalk covered with pieces of black walnut hull, sticks, and fall leaves. It has rained recently, and the hulls have stained the sidewalk around them. The sun is low in the sky, casting dramatic long shadows.
