Not my garden, but this is the activity departments garden where I work.
They do this every year.
Here is my precious little Rodney aka (my nickname for him, of course) Rodney Whipple/Rodney Whippersnapper.
He was a farmer all his life and was thrilled to pick some peppers!

Lee, he takes them to the kitchen, then the ladies in dietary use them in meals for the residents.
Not just him, we have lots of our residents who enjoy just sitting by the garden every day to watch the growth progress.
Any excess by the end of the season goes into the break room for us employees.
Last year I got a few of Zac's tomatoes before they all were taken
Looks like a haven of peace and tranquility.

Yea Lee- The flowers close to the crop helps so much.
I have a chair next to my pepper plants; it was enjoyable
watching th Bumblebee's Polinating the pepper flowers.
next year. I 'm going to plant way more flowers.
My new landlord chopped down all my Fruit Tree's.
I miss my hummingbirds. I'll figure it out.

First Picked Crop of 2023.

Dan, a hummingbird feeder is a great thing, as long as you change the nectar every 3 or 4 days when it's hot outside. In addition, I buy hanging plants that they love: Firecracker Plant (Vermillionaire) is their favorite, but they also like Lantana and Calibrachoa. I plant seeds of Scarlet Runner Beans in the ground - easy to grow and you can harvest the dried bean seeds to soak, cook and eat.

Thanks Lee,
I have a giganic Lavender Bush in my front yard. In the back yard, I left a lot of
Dandelions. Next year, I'm going to work on a lot of Plants, loved by
Butterfly's, Hummingbirds and Bee's.
This i the 1st year no Hummingbirds. New Landlord cut down all my beautiful
fruit tree's. I had 3 Hummingbird Feeders. I changed the water twice a week.
Your flowers are gorgeous. Thanks Lee.
we might not be saving a lot of
I planted a small patch of wild flower seeds in the ground, not pots. So cool to see what blooms. White alyssum, blue batchelor buttons, yellow coreopsis, pink-lavender Love Lies Bleeding. Haven't identified the bright pink flower in the middle yet.

Sunday roast chicken?

Lmao! My sweetie would have my ass if I cooked one
She calls them and they come running, kinda like pets. I don’t think I could eat one of these 
We think there is only one rooster now. That would be ideal. More than one rooster and they fight - it gets ugly
What a great happy place
Aww, they're cute!
It, I should say, because I only see one. Lol
