This morning I took a bicycle ride through the posh neighborhood just a few blocks away.  I decided to spot and photograph all the food I could see in the gardens – mostly looking for front yard vegetables and fruits.  This particular enormous garden has long been a favorite of mine.

I love to see people making use of driveway dividers to grow food.  Here is squash or melons and dried up corn.

Persimmons in the front yard of a charming house that I have always admired.  But since I was focusing on food growing I didn’t snap the house itself.

Across the street from the persimmons the neighbors have two pear trees.

This is my favorite – when vegetables are used in front yards as part of the landscaping for all to see.

What the hell are these?  I don’t know if they’re edible but I had to include them because they’re weird and cool.  Also – the same yard had an orange tree.

Here it is.  Look at all those wasting oranges.  That’s a real shame.

Grapes and limes!  I may have spotted rhubarb too but it was hard to tell and I didn’t want to trespass to find out.

Small apple tree.

This was planted in the sidewalk strip and I wish I could do that in my strip but I think the city doesn’t allow it and here in my very busy very city block I think it would get the city’s attention.

The owner of these tomatoes came home just as I spotted them.  I asked if I could take a picture of his tomatoes and he said yes, but I think he was really weirded out by me.  This is another driveway divider as garden.  I love it!

Damn poor picture but this cute little house put a pretty vegetable box right near their front steps.  Super charming!

And lastly – another veg box in a front yard.  They have another on on the other side of the walkway.  I wish my tomatoes looked that robust!

That’s the end of my posh neighborhood food growing tour.

That was a really nice way to start my day.  Unfortunately, my back is hurting so I’m headed back to bed for a while longer to ice and heat it.  Hope you have a great Monday!
