Freedom Gardening and Foraging

Sprucing up the Walkway Garden Beds

Admittedly, the garden along the walkway up to my house has been a bit chaotic since I started it, maybe last year. I had not edged it with anything to define the borders and the plants, I kept moving them or they got mowed (because of the lack of borders). Well, it's got...See more

Wild Blues

Asparagus Flowers These are tough to get a good picture of. And while attempting to do so I think I invented a new yoga pose. Both the male and female plants have flowers (with small differences) but the female flowers turn into seed pods.

Look what I found growing

OMG, I'm so excited!

Jostaberry and Red Currant Added a couple more berries to the arsenal.

I might just bring roses.

So glad I put the time in on these. The smile they bring to the lady is so worth it. That is a banger.
