Drought, nor’easters, and chipmunks are one thing, but bishop’s weed is a Cape Cod garden foe that keeps coming back no matter how much gets pulled. With the fall garden in full color, the essayist weighs containment against surrender and finds some beauty in the standoff.
In a twinkle-lit pizza place in Provincetown, the regulars argue over measurements, trade facts about the side streets, and remember the houses that once stood there. One man’s claim of a “working knowledge” of the town becomes a meditation on the seasonal workers who keep the Cape running.
