Our Best Garden Photos of 2023
November 26, 2023

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 of bumblebees pollinating our Goliath broccoli blooms.

Clicking on an image will open a larger version of it in a new tab or window. Hovering your mouse over any image should display a description of the image.

All photos on this page are copyrighted, but may be used for desktop photos without permission or payment. All other use requires prior consent, massive royalty payments, your left pinkie finger...grin (Actually, I'm a pretty soft touch on non-commercial use of my photos, especially for educators. Just , please.)

Food shots: It was a great year for spring peas.

Pints of peas for the freezer

Spinach salad Butternut squash mock yams All of our apples this year made one pie

 

It seems every year our oregano attempts to take over one side of our herb bed. Harvesting and drying it...and later cutting it back keeps it somewhat in control.

I do turn the camera for vertical shots sometimes.

I haven't changed any of our photo gear recently, so I'll just provide a link to that information for those who might be interested in what I use.
