These are some of the purple flowering broccoli plants that we grow in our raised bed food gardens at the community orchard park.

My first 2026 #strawberry #flower has emerged. Lots of flowerbuds are getting ready to bloom. After the blooms, come some of my early, sweet, homegrown #strawberries 🍓
This is in a large garden bed in the side yard - there's thousands of strawberry plants in that bed 😃
We love eating strawberries so we grow lots of them. I have 3 different varieties growing in our front, side & backyards & 2 strawberry planters on our back deck too.
