^{An Okra Blossom}
A few days ago, I went to my friend Esther's house, just to visit;
I hadn't seen her in several months.
She is an incredible gardener, growing much of her food in her yard and
in the "Historic Mableton Community Garden",
where I was once the grounds Keeper.
So today I went back to get my lone surviving Norfolk Pine, in hopes it
can be coaxed back to a semblance of health, and I took my camera.
She asked me to:
"PLEASE Document my yard, I don't have any good photos of all my plants"

^{This is a table sitting just outside her kitchen door}

SO I DID!!!

^{Her original 'raised bed', with peppers, tomatoes, basil and more}

^Amaranth

^{Her second oldest Raised bed, also with a hodgepodge of veggies}

This is a "Long View" of the newest bed (I'd never seen it before Thursday)
It runs along an embankment between her home and the one next door,
Hers is on the right.

This is that long bed, looking back towards the woods. I had to turn the
Camera to get it all in the frame

She also has some non-food items

Some variety of "Ice Plant" a succulent

I think this is a Geranium

Garlic or Chive gone wild

Sage in the corner (any time it breaks off a piece, she sticks it somewhere
So she in effect has Sage everywhere) among other things

This is the deeply shaded area at the bottom of her back yard.
This is where my trees and ferns were, along with her Daylilies

I got "Artsy" with some settings on the camera.

And here is Ms Esther and our beloved Bina

Oh! I almost forgot the "Mystery Melon"

Given to her by another gardener friend, but we don't know
What it really is; the fruit is EXCEPTIONALLY spiky.

So herein ends my photographic visit to:
