The EllGab Garden

[FISH]

This summer I grew a mini lawn for me and my cats. To my surprise and delight a bunch of tomato plants came up. Obviously the previous owner had a garden at one time. See my little green babies?

But also three of these plants that were planted in a nice row. Broad green leaves that turn brown at edges then die but then new leaves keep coming in. Stalk is dark red.  I am a clueless city girl and have no idea what they are. I really didn't want to yank them out until I knew what they were. I tried Google image recognition but didn't work. Anybody have an idea of what they are?

@TigerLily I like your mini lawn for all. I am also a city girl with a city garden. After viewing your photos, I was motivated to clean up my garden. I wonder if we are going to have a long winter. So many of my summer flowers are dying off. They are acting like it is FALL.
Sorry, I have not idea what they are.

Gesundheit.

In Russia, if you sneeze while someone else is talking. If that happens, the interrupted speaker will often say правду говорю, or “I’m telling the truth.”

I was at a county fair last month when I spotted this unusual potted plant.  The label told me the name of it but I have forgotten what it was called.  Guess I should have wrote it down.

Ok
Foxtail agave?
Wine eucomis?

Nice.  And timely, being it's almost Autumn.  (Next Monday.)  I remember now, it was called a pineapple flower at the fair.  Thanks, anniem.

I loved that exotic plant. I wondered if it would grow in my garden/house. I tried to look it up.
I love your comments. You are sincere and funny.
The problem was ME. I made the mistake. It was FUNNY.
I will stay mindful, next time.

I think I did find the name, have no idea where it can grow. What I do know is that it is a plant and if it is too close to me for too long it will die.

I am getting better with indoor plants. The outdoor garden is my thing.
