All about my gardens, plants, yards. I love to photograph "anything". I love to garden, and work on garden and yard projects. This blog shows what I'm doing and how things are coming.I have also started to add my grandchildren.

Poke berries. These are the fruit of the poke salad plant. It grows in fence rows, log piles, out your backdoor if a seed is dropped. My mom used the juice from these as ink, to write with when she was growing up. I think the berries would make a good dye for cloth or yarn. I am going to use it diluted, along with some other of nature's gifts to paint with, kinda like watercolor.
My Mr. Bumble Bee. I just love this insect.
Garlic chives. Very tasty garnish and can be added to stir fry.

Beautiful photos. I used to have poke berries growing outside my back door. Never knew what they were before.
