'LIL FANNY FARM

September in the guerilla garden on the canal easement. We've got peppers, beans, eggplant, pumpkins, asian tiger melons, pear gourds, tomatoes, assorted herbs and the sweet scent of moonflower. The bees are working over everything with pollen.

The mature garden - late summer (FBF)

The lush late summer garden is often a wall of green, accented with color from flowers. In the last couple of days I have tried to capture that as I went for walks with the dogs. It is a pleasure to share the experience.

Above is the blossom of red kuri squash and below is the fruit.

One of variety of stunning zinnias this year.
