Flowers and Produce from our Yard (October 2021)
We’ve had many gallons of tomatoes, lots of peppers, both large and small, raspberries, herbs, arugula, zinnia, elephant ears, caladium and dahlias.

You are looking here at garlic scapes, zucchini, romaine lettuce, kale, parsley, turnips, kohlrabi, peas, and three different kinds of raspberries.
Check out the photos here of September 2020 from our garden. Both the food and the flowers have been wonderful.
We harvested all this beautiful produce from our small yard already.
Here are some shots of the end of our season as we await our first hard frost. There are only leeks, parsley, mint, and green tomatoes left out there now.
The place is such a feast for the eyes, I couldn’t stop my iPhone from snapping the photos in this post. The variety and grandeur of beauty housed in this small space is astounding!
I’ve found the decorative kale around to be quite striking this season. The one above is right outside our front door. I’ve made the collection of those photographed below…
Check out a small fraction of our garden produce this year in this post. We especially enjoyed those crisp, thick walled red bell peppers raw…
I live in a beautiful place surrounded by flowers. Here are just a sampling of the beautiful blooms I have enjoyed this month.
In this post are the photos I snapped that day, gobsmacked by this flower’s intensely deep crimson and fascinating shape.
Now is a perfect time to eat the succulently delicious beet greens, which are such a treat. They my favorite cooked green– soft and sweet.
We have a lovely peach crop this year with four trees laden with them. The oldest tree has so many that we’ve had to prop its branches up with 2 x 4’s to help the tree not break under the extra weight.
