I thought I would follow up the beautiful fall photos Starla submitted to the blog with these photos of our garden that I recently received from our friend, Diane Washam.
Check out this bee visiting our Mexican Honeysuckle Plant. This plant blooms from late spring to fall. I have never seen garlic chive seeds look so beautiful! This lizard looks quite comfortable on the spotted manfreda plant.Mexican Mint Marigold looking pretty after the rain.Lambs Quarter is in the same plant family as spinach, chard and beets.This is the Fidalgo Roxa pepper. We planted it on the courtyard as an ornamental plant. The beautiful, colorful peppers look like candy! However, don’t let the candy like appearance fool you as this pepper is extremely hot. It was a good year for peppers! This is one of the many pepper plants that we planted in the edible garden, the donation garden and the courtyard garden. Many of these wonderful peppers were donated to the food bank, many of them were used to make our jalapeno jellies and a few were just there as ornamental plants to add interest to our gardens.
