Our Best Garden Photos of 2019
November 4, 2019

I love gardening, and I also enjoy 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 photo of the year turned out to be a Sun Devil lettuce plant blooming. While pretty, lettuce blooming is usually a sign that the lettuce is overripe and unfit to eat. I've been trying to save seed from the Sun Devil variety for several years and finally found success this season.

Just , please.)
