From Butterflies to Vegetables

Butterflies seemed to be the theme for this years Lakes and Hills Garden Club Tour in Mount Dora, 

The 2nd garden on the tour was abuzz with happy pollinators everywhere. These homeowners are creating a nice habitat for butterflies and pollinators of all kinds along their side yard and in their backyard.

This fluffy green plant is asparagus - a purple variety. I have never heard of anyone growing asparagus in Florida, but here is proof that it is possible.

The homeowners have a beautiful kitchen garden established in their backyard.

The tomatoes look super healthy and they have cleverly trained thornless blackberries along the low fence that protects their garden from hungry critters.

One last cute touch on our visit to the 2nd garden on the tour.
