“Weed 'em and reap”

🔵🔵🔵💡

Hi Strands fans. I found this one a bit tricky, as it turns out that supermarkets have ruined my knowledge of what crops are seasonal and when.

I also started off looking for "gardening" because "weeds" was mentioned in the theme. But as there's not a single 'G' on the board, that wild goose chase quickly ended.

Then I found SQUASH in the top-left corner and realized this was about vegetables that need reaping around this time of year. This helped me get PUMPKIN on the right-hand side of the board, and ONION above it.

I was then a bit stumped though, and had to use a clue, which revealed APPLE. I got RADISH next, which revealed the full length of the spangram: FALLHARVEST.

Thankfully, the last word was pretty much in a straight line along the left-hand side, as I've literally never heard the word KOHLRABI before in my life. I was a bit surprised when it turned blue to complete the puzzle, but there we are.
