Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, July 30, 2014: Vegetables in Formal Garden, Musee Carnavalet

In the courtyard of the Musee Carnavelet, the City of Paris history museum, boxwood trimmed to fleur-de-lys patterns and other ornamentals share space with ripening tomatoes, lovely cabbage, and a dozen other vegetables including haricots vert, salsify, black radishes, sweet potatoes, onions, chard and beets. What a surprise!

If you like beautiful food gardens, I think you’d love this one in Versailles: http://www.potager-du-roi.fr/site/potager/index.htm I spent a good part of a day there, not long after the restored garden opened to the public, taking pictures in a drizzly rain.  Not what you’d think of for a garden in Versailles, but wonderful.
