Our Best Garden Photos of 2017
November 14, 2017

I love gardening, and I also love taking pictures. Publishing Senior Gardening allows me to combine both avocations. Most of the photos below have appeared somewhere on Senior Gardening during the last year.

My favorite shot of the year was of an incredibly delicious seedless watermelon. Often, seedless varieties don't measure up in flavor to their seeded ancestors. This one did.

I'm a sucker for shots of apple blossoms. After stewing a bit over which one was best, I decided to use all three photos taken in early April.

I do turn the camera for vertical shots sometimes.
