I took the long walk around the yard today, it doesn't even come close to resembling the 3.5 acres of lawn I used to cut just a decade ago. 

Zinnias do attract bees

I think this is a variety of sweat fly on these z's

and on the other side of the driveway, a small garden that gives so much and takes so little care.

The wasp nest I knocked out of the van after getting stung.  Most of the next caps are now open and it seems populars with small ground insects.

The decorative hot peppers in a black pot.

a catnip, backed by a perennial sunflower

I'm not sure what these perennials are they grow like a clump of grass




The kiwi flowers and young fruit didn't result in any older fruit again this yr.

another just throw them in bed of yrs past client rejects

So far way more flowers than green beans on these 'scarlet runners'.

more broccoli than I can eat, I'll have to go and visit the kids again, lol

The best mint I have ever enjoyed, chocolate mint.  I use some in my now regular garden salads.  Very menthol and easily identified chocolate.

I went with regular basil this year, great stuff.

Sunflower and friend.

One of the basket of fire hot peppers in the garden.

an eye watering sight, goldenrod

goldenrod, high on allergens

looking back as I head out back


hawthorne berries

more wild grapes 

Black walnuts I think, could be butternuts, it was too brushy to check the tree bark the only way I can tell the difference between the two.

The back fence line with a few hundred acres of corn behind, the trees are covered with mostly wild grapes.

a wild flower

and another



The side yard

I ate one they aren't sweet yet but doing well.

The fancy plum trees died and only these so so tasting plums still grow.  I cut them down once and now they do this.


One of the last client plants I got, an hibiscus, the flowers are the size of my hand and only last a day, but once it starts they just keep going.

plant to avoid stinging nettle, it can hurt for hours with just as small touch.

These are burrs, they love clothing.
