Most of the garden is leaves at the moment..but there are a few flowers.
I took a few photos before going to the French conversation group..which was quite lively today!
Then....Potato followed by Chives
Chaenomoles (spelling?) Japanese Quince
Alpine Strawberry
Broad Bean
Yellow Beetroot
Carrot

We grow broad beans in the winter here. Well others do. It’s the one vegetable I cannot eat, suffice to say it will never grow here while I’m here
Lovely photos
Japanese quince is beautiful, Ive not seen this before. Betty
A lovely variety of flowers
you can use them for preserves like the usual quince..a similar flavour
Even though you don't eat them, grow them for the bees
My sister visits Carnegie libraries —there are a bunch in Minnesota—a couple here in town I’ve visited—always slightly different architecture—fun to see,
And what a great example of wealth used for a good cause!
So different from today’s robber barons…

I love carrot flowers, and wild carrot too (which I think is not quite the same thing, though the flowers are basically the same).
I love how beautiful vegetable flowers are - its like added joy! Love the kiln dragon (been offline a fair bit of late so only caught up on this page's worth of posts, sorry)
We call that quince Japonica - if I'm on the same plant it's a really old-fashioned garden plant here and I was living in UK before I realized the fruit is a variety of quince and makes most excellent jellies. Alpine strawberries come in colours (when ripe) that stymie bird predation. They don't see the grren ones as ripe.
yes, I missed adding that name, thankyou.
Lovely veggie flowers! I just discovered blogger had removed your link from my list...so I've missed a few of your posts. Must catch up now!
Your flowering plants are lovely. Flowers mean the veggies or fruit are soon to come. Your garden is thriving nicely.
we rely so much on the follower list...there are a few that I haven't seen for a while...
I have read about broad beans, but never tried to grow them. Wonder if they are suited to KY climate?
