Oh I love those flowers, we used to have them at my parents' house, and put them in salads all the time. Growing up I thought it was so cool to have flowers we could eat :-)
I soooooo want a garden! And I PROMISE should ever be blessed with a garden, I will garden organically, and I will use up every little bit of goodness :-)
So what are those vines, please tell us city folk who are ignorant of the life on a "farm"? Certainly you don't grow all that green vegetation for those few red flowers for your salad??
Oh those pictures are just gorgeous! I long for a pretty, well-cared for garden with all kinds of produce emanating from it. Perhaps I just need to get my kiester away from this confounded computer and outside for once!
Yummy! I've been eating all the tiny orange tomatoes from my garden, my favorite!
Aren't those vines nasturtium? I planted some of those by my herbs last year and they were beautiful. This year I planted a bit late and I couldn't find any, I was a bit sad.
The taste s always better when you grow them yourself I have no room for a garden for veg. we will all just have to come and share with you LOL. Hugs Mary.
Love your new blog header. Could you post a recipe of whatever you were cooking? It looks delicious. Is it an old family recipe? Hope you have a great and safe weekend.
This is a lovely post and really inspiring. This year we only did tomatoes and herbs. There is something so wonderful on a really about nurturing a small plant/seed and it turn reaping it's fruits. (or vegetables) Your garden is beautiful. Very nice message.
What beautiful photos and what a good message, Dana! I grow nasturtiums too and I love them especially because I get to share them with the Cabbage White butterflies and their caterpillars. (I know a lot of gardeners don't feel this way ~ but I love having these graceful little butterflies flying around, and they actually don't have much of an impact on my plants at all.)
There's an award for you over on my blog, by the way. Happy Sunday. =]
i'm with you. :) and i must say that EVERY fruit or veggie that comes from our garden is bruised, half eaten by a worm, or over ripe...but we love 'em anyway!!

You go girl! A good goal...and a good looking sauce! We've let some of our tomaters go to waste...there are just too many, how do you use them all!!
BTW Thanks for the awesome soundtrack on your blog! Love it.
You are so right-and it all tastes so good! Even the bumps and bruises don't change that magical flavor!
This makes me so homesick for the garden I grew up with. Yes, I know one can garden in the desert, but it is pretty discouraging.
How I miss black, fertile earth.

Great thoughts! We have a grass-fed farm in Texas so its great to see people getting the word out.
Bruises and all.......homegrown veggies and fruit are the absolute best!
If you don't have a farm or garden, Local Harvest is a great way to find local farms around you.
Have a great weekend!

How funny that I come in for my weekly browse of your blog just after I posted this

You are right nohing beats home grown pesticide free vegies. We all get a huge buzz eating our own vegies.
The kids love to pick and eat it fresh from the garden. Hence why we hardly get any beans or peas for dinner.
We have a tiny garden in our backyard and our children (ages 18m, 2 1/2 and 5 1/2) love it. It is such a great experience for them too!
