Come with me to an Carlsbad local’s favorite roadside stop, a fruit and flower stand that has charm and character. The red tractor on the lot made a great backdrop for a photo with my kids when they were just tots, years ago. Today I put 3 little pumpkins on it and call it, “Three Sisters” – (yes I have two sisters). On any given day, I can run down to the fruit stand and pick up herbs, veggies, flowers, homemade tamales, guacamole, and even chocolate covered strawberries. Enjoy the pumpkins.

I drove to San Juan Capistrano, CA today to photograph a Front Yard Garden. For years I have heard of “Tony’s Front Yard Pumpkin Patch” and wanted to share this great idea on my blog. Tony’s yard was more than a pumpkin patch: it was a complete botanical wonder! There were gourds, tomatoes, sunflowers, succulents, pumpkins of all sizes, zucchini, lavender, strawberries, artichoke, and the list went on and on. I fell in love with the idea of creating a garden in the front yard that invites neighbors in, and shares the gift of gardening with all who walk by. Tony said he does not have a method, or science to his garden, he just keeps planting what he loves! Thank you for the gardening inspiration and visit to your magical front yard.
