Magical Garden

OMG Gardens are great!  It always amazes me that you start with a tiny seed and end up with a HUGE bounty. I went a few weeks ago with my sister to our plots at our local community garden.  Sadly I hadn't been there for awhile. It is such a beautiful place in the middle of the city and I'm always inspired by the other plots.  Boy was I excited by what I saw.... amazing chard, lettuce, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and broccoli.  I harvested a bit of it but can't wait to have more of the  amazing fresh veggies.

Love this speckled lettuce

Sweet Potatoes

Boy was I going to have some good food when I got home.  While there we planted some seeds for sugar snap peas, radishes, carrots, beets, chard, lettuce and kale.  I can't wait for those to grow.  What are your favorite veggies and herbs to plant in the garden?

Vegan MoFo: Garden

A few years ago I put in some raised beds so I could grow fruits and vegetables. I also planted about 10 fruit trees.  Although summer is over and many of the plants have died, the food from the garden is so amazing and fresh.  It is a great feeling  going out to the garden to pick my food and then prepare it for a meal.  Wonderful fresh veggies and fruit couldn't be better.

These cherry trees should produce some fruit this coming year I can't wait.

Cherry Trees

I had never hear of this type of fruit before but the leaves are a beautiful deep redish color. I remember thinking if I never get one fruit off of the tree I will still be happy because it's so gorgeous.  Who knew I was in for such a treat,with the gorgeous flowers.

Nothing better then a tomato from your garden

I've started my fall crop and can't wait for those veggies to arrive.  It is a great way to get outdoors and spend time with friends or family who are willing / interested in helping.
