The gardeners in charge of flower gardens on public land around my town do an amazing job in our short growing seasons. I went out with my camera today to record some of the beauty before frost destroys it.
This garden is on a small piece of land that is bordered by exits and entrances to a major street.
When I walked closer to photograph individual flowers, I got a big surprise.
Among the dahlias, sunflowers, geraniums and petunias, etc.,
were several kinds of food plants: beets, carrots, cabbages, beans, vines bearing pumpkins or squash, and strawberry plants.
I'm hoping that the edible plants will be safe from frost and vandals until they are ready to be harvested as intended.
