Vegetable Garden
In the foreground are sprays of Shasta daisies and "Cloth of Gold" yarrow (Achillea). The large spherical seed heads are leeks going to seed. "Hollow Crown" parsnips and "purple sprouting" broccoli are also going to seed. The heritage lettuces going to seed in this picture are "Grand Rapids", Fire Mountain" and "Continuity Butter Head". Zucchini thrives n the blue wheelbarrow, and the heritage tomatoes "Pink Brandy wine", "Golden Queen", and "Gardener's Delight" will be growing up the stakes in the background later on in the season.
