The abundance of our garden

When we move in January I will truly miss our amazing garden. We've had color and food in abundance through every season. . . enjoy some of them with me!

These roses are just outside my bedroom window, I just leaned out and took the photo.

This mint growing out our back door, combined with lemons from Grandma and Grandpa's garden, makes a refreshing drink on a hot day.
Don't know what this is, but it sure is lovely.
The girls and I planted broad beans, not really knowing if we liked them or not, and today was the day to find out. Here's Jo with a bowl of them we picked. . .
We also grew some broccoli in our organic garden - this is a baby head. . .
but here is Katie with the one we cut out for dinner.
And then more roses by the front gate. . .
by the front door. . .
and by my lovely daughter Meggie.
Busy shelling the beans for dinner. . .


Josie eats one of the chocolate chip cookies we made this afternoon. Ellie slept through our gardening adventures, so no pics of her today.
