Beauty You Won't Find at the Supermarket

Since the primary goal of the garden is to produce edibles for our table, it's beauty is often overlooked.    As I've never before grown potatoes, this is my first encounter with a sweet potato bloom.  Isn't it beautiful?  Apparently potatoes aren't only about what's going on under the soil!

The bees seem to like them, too.

And, how about these!  We gathered these from the garden and set them in a vase on the kitchen table.  Can you name the garden plant they come from?

  3. You guessed it, Jess. . . onions! The girls thought it was really funny to put flowers from stinky onions on the table. :)
