Views from the Garden

This flower, from one of our squash plants, bloomed this morning. Where this squash sits there used to be a powerful kale, now gone. It seems that this is the power seat of the garden, for whomever sets roots there, lifts their chin up high. This squash is on it's way to becoming a monster.

Same flower and plant, but from the underside



From up top.


This beauty turned red last week. This will be the 3rd pepper we harvest from this plant. There are 3 other medium-sized ones, and several small ones growing.











Mandala of Spice







Here you see the same squash as above, and the same pepper as well in the foreground. In the back, tall and full of flowers is a nice arugula plant. Soon it will give off seed, and a new generation will be planted. To the right is a strong lemon grass plant. Hidden from view, under the squash are various strawberry plants.


This is a second garden bed we have. This one is mostly populated by arracache, an amazing tuber. It is long like a yucca, with celery-like leaves. On the left and front, there are some mustard leaf plants. Not visible are two carrots and two beat plants.



Here is another crooked view of the same garden bed just described.



Right next to the outdoor wall, we have more productive space. Here highlighted is a nice lettuce. To the right is a "coyote" cilantro plant.


Good eats.
