Oprah Winfrey Goes Green: TV Host Shares Her Home Garden On Twitter [Photos]
Oprah Winfrey's sprawling estate in Montecito, Calif., has plenty of green space, and the TV legend makes the most of it.
The OWN CEO shared the delicious spoils of her home garden on Twitter this week, giving followers a peek into the billionaire's harvest.
Winfrey posted photos to Twitter of herself and her personal trainer Bob Greene collecting a mass of multicolored vegetables.
"O happy harvest day. My favorite day of the week. Bob Greene and me trucking our veggie loot," Oprah tweeted.
And there was a lot of veggie loot to truck - so much that Winfrey wrote she would be giving some away.
"Isn't that a pretty site? All from my garden. Too much for me, gonna share with my neighbors!" she said about a photo of juicy red tomatoes.
She used some of the produce for decoration. Another photo she tweeted shows a cluster of herbs in an antique-looking pot.
"Yesterday's herbal harvest now in an old milk bucket ($3 flea mkt) Love herbs for cooking, don't you?" she said.
In addition to growing fruits and vegetables, Winfrey is also a flower lover. She's spoken about growing them at her home, where her estate boasts a massive 600 rose bushes. But the talk show queen appreciates the impermanence of the beautiful buds.
"I don't think of flowers as something material," she said on her website. "Flowers come, and then they go back to where they came from. You can't hold them for long."
Winfrey said tending her garden is one of her favorite pasttimes during the warmer months.
"Another reason to love summer. Gardening, I love it!" she wrote.
