So I completely blew it this year with my Spring garden – I didn’t sow my seeds early enough and the weeds really just took over. So about the time that it started to cool down this year, I thought maybe I’d have a second chance with a cool season crop.
About the beginning of September I went out to see if I could find some seeds – everyone was pretty much out except one local garden store in Madison (CT). They were actually giving their overstock away so I plowed through a large pile looking for varieties of spinach, lettuce and radishes that had short germination and growing times. I did pretty well, and even despite our early cold, and torrents of rain, the little veggies did pretty well as you can see. I love these little macro shots – they’re colorful and also give great inspiration for color themes for other creative projects. Above is spinach, below is winter lettuce, cilantro, winter kale, radish, another winter lettuce. Below that is a Japanese Maple that looks like lava to me, white oak, and sarsaparilla against a white oak trunk.
These aren’t veggies, but I love the colors:
