Free Fruit?

This tree is dripping with berries! I am not sure what kind it is and if anyone knows, just leave a comment below! I don't know if it is edible. Marco has shown me where to find the Mulberries, and they are edible, though! but watch out purple fingers! Spent time in the garden with Jennifer, Mike and Keely this morning and boy the radishes are good! Lots of purple finches today and American Goldfinches, can't get close enough to take a photo and my zoom is not good enough.

Somebody's broccoli is ready! Note to self broccoli takes up a lot of room! It spans almost 2 feet and is over 2 feet high! Monster plants!

Thorny Thistles among the thorny Black Locust sprouts. Watch your fingers! I really love the way they've let these patches of native plants grow along the fence of the Prevost.


And finally, another before and after photo...I don't know whose garden this is but it has an angel watching over it :) this photo taken June 6:


And this taken a month later, July 7, just from a different angle:


A lady in walking her dog in the park commented to us that she feels a lot safer in the park with the garden here, she says there is always someone busy in the garden when she walks her dog.
On a sadder note, the reports of thievery is on the increase, ornaments are being taken from gardens, plants are being trod on, and tools are being taken. I know it is a pain, but try not to leave anything you don't want stolen there....It's such a shame.

  1. That looks like a Choke Cherry tree but I'm not 100% certain. I wouldn't try eating one though. Have the birds been around it at all?

  2. the tree is a cherry for sure...looks like a choke to me too. if so, the berries are edible but sour. better for jam i think. and birds.
