To a gardener, G has to stand for gardens :). Let me digress from my ordered travelogue to write about some of the gardening experiences I had on this tour..
Climbing the 400 steps up to Coit Tower in San Francisco got much easier once I saw the greenery on the way ;). These giant nasturtium leaves caught my attention immediately. And yes, my kids were such good sports they climbed with me with only a wee bit of complaining!
These pics are from a friend's place where I stayed in Fremont.

The next pics are from Sea World at San Diego where I must have been the only one more interested in this small garden space :).

| Fennel |
 |
| Artichoke - I'm fascinated when I see them using it in cooking shows |
 |
| Swiss chard - I was almost tempted to swipe some seeds :) |

| Asparagus |
After hearing so much about the gloomy weather in Seattle, I was amazed to find clear sunny skies and the most amazing greenery all around. This tree just amazed me with its majesty.
lovely clicks. As you said, a gardner will never fail to appreciate the greens.

ReplyDeleteThanks Uma and Mary :). Mary, I already have seeds for most of those except artichokes which I'm pretty sure of never using ;).
