Perry's Garden

This is my friend, Perry's, yard! It has a lot going on and is quite pretty. Around his house he has 23 fruit trees, and they aren't dwarfs! He has grapes and vegetables in the back yard, too.

Perry said that this is his "Obama" garden, as the curbing around the tree creates an "O". And, because Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden, then he would, too! Only he planted it in the FRONT yard! The vegetables encircle the ring around the tree.

Here are squash and pepper plants. Tomatoes are across the back, in front of the flowers.

Looking to the other side of the tree, there are more squash and tomato plants. When I first walked up to his front door, I didn't even see the vegetables--they are not so obvious! No room in the back yard for a vegetable garden? Plant it in the front yard!
