homegrown: my friend's flowers

No Comments »

As someone who has struggled to keep house plants alive, I marvel at those that can grow bigger and better flowers each year out of doors. The friend who grew those marvelous veggies I shared last week has some truly beautiful flower gardens as well. Here are but a few pictures of her flowers:






homegrown: my friend's veggies

Look at this gem of a pumpkin. Last year, my friend K ended up with very perfect, but small, pumpkins. This year, her garden exploded with bigger produce.

The tomatoes are always the most prolific, no matter the garden. This one is no exception. She makes bruscetta, salsa and spaghetti sauce on a regular basis.


And have I mentioned that they also pickle cucumbers? The pickles taste amazing, both the refrigerator or canned ones. I also like to slice the cucumbers and have them with hummus.

Does anyone else grow their food at home?
