Freedom Gardening and Foraging

Pink oleander flowers. People think of Las Vegas as too brutally hot for flowers but oleanders everywhere here and they explode with blooms in Spring through Summer. This is one of my 8 container grown oleander shrubs. I use 5 gallon industrial buckets.

Spuds Harvested some of our potatoes. This is less than half. We planted them in new raised beds this year. #harvest26

Humble Harvest

This is my dry bean harvest (so far, there are more on the vine) from my blue shackamaxon beans. And i say humble because hardly anyone is ever like "I can't wait to harvest my dry beans!" But they are one of the easiest winter storage items. I've got some dry limas too, they are prettier but not near as abundant and most are still green.

Yellow Transparents Harvested our neighbour's tree as she isn't using them this year. We will be making apple sauce and fruit leathers with them. #harvest26

Please enjoy the random chaos pumpkin I didn't plant but it chose the perfect spot to sprout. I think one of the pansy eating possums dropped off the seed.

Garlic Harvest Day Ended up with 100. #harvest26

Time to thin the carrots. #harvest26
