Notes from the Garden

Creeping Dogwood, edible fruit.

Mint is the low growing plant, but not sure what the tall plant is.

Do you know?

Mespilus (Medlar)

Closely related to the apple, this unusual fruit is only edible  when

allowed to rot slightly, a process know as "bletting".  It was very

popular in Elizabethan times.

Japanese Raisin Tree, edible fruit.

Wild Strawberry, edible fruit.

Out of the garden in through Roman ruins and burial plots.

Mahonia, which is also Oregon's state flower, was growing in the garden.

Springtime was blooming in the garden.  The yellow blooms were

Welsh poppies, which I am trying to get started in my garden at home.

It was the perfect spring day for a walk in the garden with friends.
