My grandma's autumn harvest

Last weekend I stayed at my grandma's and helped her a bit round her garden, as she doesn't move as effortlesslly and she used to.. I looked around and this is what I found in her garden. Plenty of beans put to dry, a huge courgette, a pumpkin, apple trees abudant with red big apples, some herbs. And then there is hawthorn, which not many people use, but they are good for making jams and jellies or eaten raw.

It's so nice to have a possibility to grow your own stuff and eat it fresh. Here it is:

And then I found some very tasty hazelnuts. This was the first time I tried them, they are quite crispy and very very tasty.

My first garden

Hi, I reformed our London garden by adding plants and trees and some other nice details. I based my drawing on Cecilia's  post on drawing edible garden. She gives some very simple and very useful ideas about how to draw it.

And here is a photo of it.  I inhabited the garden with the trees and plants that are pleasant to me as well as those that can be eaten. I'm not sure if you can see but there are: cabbages, grapes, cherry tree, beans, thyme, levander, jasminium, japanese maple tree, clover, basil, cranberries.

By the way this is how the garden looks in reality. I know, you will say it's much smaller, and I will agree. I definitely would make some adjustments:)
