07/October/2017 - Our Yard in the Autumn

Following are some pics of our backyard in the early autumn.  We live in central Georgia, in the southeastern USA, so it is still fairly warm outside.  Cold weather doesn't usually arrive until later in the month, with the first frosts striking us sometime in early November.

Here we see a portion of our deteriorating fence, with two banana plants growing in front of it.  (We have larger banana plants on the side of the house.)

Looking towards the other side of the yard, we see a camote, (sweet potato), patch in the distance, and some taro plants to the left foreground.  (We don't eat the taro plants - they just don't taste very good.)

Malabar spinach, (Basella alba - Sweetie calls it "water spinach"), grows really well here, (to the point of almost becoming a weed!), and is super yummy.  A great plant for anyone in central Georgia to have in their garden.

Peace!
