Things Hungarian

We've discovered some things since we moved here that remind us that we are "not in Kansas anymore." Of course, the language is one of the most obvious, but there are many other things that we enjoy observing. One of the these is the pride and pleasure many Hungarians get out of growing things. Hungary has been blessed with fertile soil and good growing conditions, so we see many small yards packed with plants of all kinds. Even people in apartments make full use of their windows and balconies to grow plants in containers. Here are some pictures of our neighbors' trees and the garden we can see from our kitchen window. These neighbors have fruit trees, grape vines and what appears to be the beginnings of an extensive vegetable garden in their small yard.
