Where'd the season go? Oh right, summer drought followed by fall food processing... peak foliage ended but the shrubbery stands out! #medawislagrows
Highbush cranberry burns red on the left, as the serviceberry on the right reveals its orange, in front of the yellow-green elderberry dropping more and more leaves everyday

Fresh-egg pasta.looks like lemon-yellow underneath a creamy Alfredo and opal purple basil and white shredded parmesan Grilled zucchini latkes topped with a tomato bruschetta/tabbouleh and leftover, homemade dill dressing, with a side of charred shishitos (at 9 o'clock)

Around the homestead: harvested onions to cure in the week of no rain that continues the 2025 drought; bumbles smother blooming asters; the new spinach vine surprised with delight! #medawislagrows #medawislasights
Purple onions are a new fav! With green tops from recent watering, they lay bulb forward on the dirt in the sun to cure A bumble bee does her thing on a fuchsia new england aster Purple onions (red bull variety) lay with green tops on garden mounds Brasella alba "rubra" spinach climbs bamboo poles shooting out green leaves; gray fence and green hedge in background; green posts and wire fence in foreground
