As I travel around for my job, I often encounter school and neighborhood gardens along the way. I hope you enjoy a few of the pictures from my travels. The first pictures are ones I took of a wall that is right along where I park next to a school.
I used to grow Purple Hyacinth Bean in Tucson. It was quite good, but a lot of work to prepare.
At another school, I was able to enjoy looking at some light Armenian Cucumbers.
This next garden is pretty fun. The school actually has two garden areas. This is just one of them.
Luffa |
Luffas are quite interesting. I have never eaten them personally, but I have heard that they are best eaten immature.
Bitter Melon |
Bitter melon is another Asian favorite for what reason I am not sure. They are apparently very helpful in controlling blood sugar, but as I am generally adverse to anything bitter, I have yet to try them.
Hyacinth Beans |

Now that autumn has progressed, the vines of a lot of plants are done growing. I hope you enjoyed a few of the gardens I see as I travel around.
