A purple flower-y plant grows tall among the short grass. (Does anyone know what kind of plant this is?!?!)
Growing plants and vegetables from their seeds is sometimes a hard task. Over watering, under watering, too much light, not enough light.. there's always some problem. Now your problems have been answered. Grow small plants or from the seed in the GrowLife with no hassle! Fill the outter pot with water and place the inner pot (with dirt and plant) inside the GrowLife pod. The inner pot will suck up water from the bottom so you do not have to worry about over watering. The Growlife also includes LED light ficture that hovers over the plant to give it the warm home and the perfect amount of light to help your baby plant grow. Once your plant reaches the hovering light, replant your plant into a pot and then you are free to grow your next plant or vegetable in your GrowLife pod. Great to use anywhere indoors, livingroom, kitchen, office, sunroom. 4 3/4 in wide x 3 1/2 in tall x arm= 3 3/4 in tall. www.uneakbuy.com
Creating a triptich (or diptych) using photographs seems to be growing in popularity, so I used the 'growing' theme to make a triptych of my grand-daughter's first attempt at vegetable gardening. She refers to the garden, located in the two halves of her plastic swimming pool, as her Growings, hence the name.

Growing Renewal – from the former Pruitt-Igoe site towards the city
From afar, the former Pruitt-Igoe seemingly sits lifeless in the east side of Saint Louis, frozen in time. However, closer inspection reveals that it has moved forward and, through piles of waste, beauty has arisen, day by day, year by year. It is nature, life that has found its way through destruction and deserves to be shown. Let the Pruitt-Igoe site be more than just a patch of green in the gloomy grays of Saint Louis, let it bring back life and joyful memories.
The proposal of this design is to allow nature to continue its process of recovery, and not try to go back to what it was as a built environment. It is about renewing its meaning to the people that lived there and in the surroundings. Yet the effects of the decay of population and economy are not limited to the site alone. Other parts of the city have suffered with similar issues, though perhaps not with the same intensity or repercussions. Therefore, this design seeks to extend nature’s ability to recover to other parts of the city, going beyond the borders of the site.
The vegetation is to overtake, in phases, open and unused spaces, generating a rezoned city. The starting point is the former Pruitt-Igoe site, but other areas, near I-70 and I-64, are added as focal points. As the vegetation expands, one large and connected green area is formed. The old grid remains as the main paths, privileging the identity and the history of the moments there lived, but new paths are also superposed, enhancing existing fluxes and connecting the public buildings around the former Pruitt-Igoe site. The objective is high-density integrated urban nuclei, a new city grid that breaks away from rigid orthogonal streets, and an ever expanding field that shelters and encourages diversity of flora and fauna as well as its relationship with human life.
Today's set of (5) consists of mostly botanical gardens shooting and one after dark shot.
I must say, every time I go to the gardens, I achieve something new. Also have the chance to see everybody getting married!
This set of (5) starts from the top and ends with bottom: [Top happened first, Last happened last].
Like the previous set, everything you see is almost 99% sooc, and the comments have anything majorly edited.
We are growing mushrooms! It is intriguing to watch them grow, through the tiniest holes to become enormous like in this picture! And they tasted great! Now we are waiting for the next harvest. ;-)
