There’s no more apt description of the title word than what is reflected in the pictures above.
Bitter, in that the frosty death knell has been sounded on the lives of hundreds of these and other plants, as they continue to push out colorful blooms until the bitter end.

We can’t thank God, and our friends and patrons, enough for a sweet and memorable 2026 fresh-flower season. We’ll take the next few weeks to prepare the farm for it’s annual state of “suspended animation”. Then, the Holidays, and then the planning for next season.
In the meantime, you may catch us at the odd winter market or off-season conference (is there ever an off-season?). As usual, we’ll post on Kay’s Kalendar any upcoming events.
