Personal Insights and Seasonal Challenges

As a fellow Strands enthusiast, I confess I found this puzzle slightly challenging. Modern grocery shopping has definitely muddled my knowledge of what produce is in season! Initially, I thought I was on a gardening spree because of the mention of “weeds,” only to realize there was not a single ‘G’ on the board—a classic case of overthinking!

Kicking off with “SQUASH” in the top-left corner paved my way to discover that this was indeed focused on vegetables that come to fruition around this time of year. Spotting “PUMPKIN” and “ONION” quickly followed suit! However, I hit a roadblock and had to resort to a hint that ultimately led me to discover “APPLE.” The elusive “RADISH” soon followed, paving the way for the grand reveal of the spangram: **FALLHARVEST**.

Finishing off the puzzle, the last word appeared in a straightforward line along the left side. Admittedly, the term **KOHLRABI** was foreign to me, adding an unexpected twist to my veggie vocabulary. But hey, that’s the thrill of the game!

With the changes in seasonal produce, today’s challenge was both enlightening and fun! Remember, keep your garden knowledge fresh and revisit these clues when needed. Happy puzzling and enjoy the scrumptious fruits of fall!
