Strawberries in a neighbor's community garden



These are photos of the gardner's garden next to Diane.  This guy has a green thumb, but he fails to come and pick his produce he grows.  These are from plants he planted last year, the kind that come 3 to a box from Lowes.  He had the strawberries, some raspberry bushes and some onion sets.  All are HUGE this year.

Sandi, this one is for you-from a fellow gardener's plot

This is what you call Tickseed, I call it Coreopsis.  It is a yellow daisy like flower. 

This is where my Bachelor Buttons came from

One of the neighbor's grew the Bachelor Buttons last year, a bird or the wind deposited some seed in my garden.  This is one that I thought was a weed, but for some reason, I left it growing.  I'm glad I did.  Here is a picture of his Bachelor Buttons.   My garden is directly behind his with a plot inbetween us.  These are the colors he has opening right now.   His plant looks tall, but he has it growing in a huge planter that is set off the ground.
This is from another of the garden plot's near mine, this is chamomile.  What is Chamomile?


Chamomile is an herb that comes from a flowering plant from the daisy family. Both the fresh and dried flowers of chamomile have been used to create teas for centuries to cure a number of health problems. The active ingredient in chamomile essential oil is known as bisabolol, which has a number of anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties.

One single unripe strawberry


Here is a picture from the same garden of an unripe strawberry.

Raspberries as you've never seen them

These raspberries are from a fellow garden's garden plot.  The way our eye looks at things is so different than from behind a camera.  I think these pictures are awesome.  Of course, these are unripe raspberries.

Lady Slippers

I was showing my friend at work my blog pictures. She then shared some of her garden pictures with me. Aren't these Lady Slippers beautiful.
