SHARED WITH MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY . Visit for your weekly dose of sunshine!
Fruit and flower pictures taken on a tour of Echo Farm last week. Click on the link to read our post about this farm. (We toured it last year later in the Spring. There were more things blooming this time.)
Echo Farm is definitely not a show garden -- the point of it is to teach people to garden in a variety of climates. I wrote about the work it does last year, so this time I just wanted to post some pretty pictures.
wow, fresh fruits and flowers. Love the papaya fruit its almost ripe and looks yummy to eat. I would like to tour in the echo farm one day.

I read your last article on the Echo Farm. It is a great educational fascility. Do they sell the produce to locals? They look nice paw paws.

I have just gone back and read your post about the ECHO Farm Sallie, that post and this one today are most interesting. Such a worthwhile project and so very necessary.
Your photos are excellent.
One thing though - I didn't know about using dandelion leaves, that they are nutritious. I should imagine they would be bitter. We have so many around our district.

Lovely collages Sallie!
It would be nice to have fresh fruit.
We do have apple trees but the deer and the crows are pesky. :)

Wow these fruits are all familiar to me. The yellow one is grapefruit but we call it in the Philippines "Buongon", then the papaya and banana. I went to read the Echo farm wow that's an amazing project, keep it up. Happy Monday!

One nice thing about Florida, it is spring all year long though a hot and sticky spring in the summer months.

I can smell those orange blossoms...ahh, heavenly!
THE SEEKERS OF YELLOW
The seekers of yellow, they say,
Will have a most terrible day
Should they not behold
Cream, amber or gold
To burnish life’s dull shades of grey.
