Gorgeous home-grown tomatoes and peppers and cucumbers... produce of the garden of my Honey's parents.
Seven decades of gardening in this lovely place. Note healthy bell pepper plants and carefully staked tomato plants.
Beets, and the beet greens are a vegetable too, dill ... to go with the cucumbers for those wonderful dill pickles they give away at Christmas, carrots have already been made into salad, potatoes, and the favorite of all broccoli family fans: Brussels sprouts. High fences have been devised to keep out the four-legged salad eaters (pesky over-abundant deer).
Summer squash and winter squash. For years, when their gardens were far larger, they raised the best sweet corn in town. 
Brussels sprouts for anti-cancer dining.
And oh, the flowers and flowers. Honey's Mom is an award-winning arranger of bouquets. 
She was an active key member of the local garden club until the other members got too old to continue.

What a stunning garden! Your photos are amazing and I bet the food from there tastes incredible. Someday I'll have a garden but now I have to settle for my CSA share; but I bet their farm isn't as pretty as this garden.
Wow! Great photos, the food looks wonderful!
I wish my garden looked like that! Right now the weeds are as high as my hip, and my raspberry bush has successfully taken over most of the garden...oh well! ;-) Great photos, Sunshine! Margaret in Florence, Italy
