Some plants I am growing. The red maples I rescued just before the landlord mowed them down, and the Sequoia was grown from a seed. It is fun to watch them grow, and produce new leaves from nothing.
My workmate JD gave me a whole lots of very lush seedlings: tomatoes and zuchinni. I like that one variety is called 'new girl' when I am (kind of) the 'new girl' at work, and JD was very kind to gift me some plants. Yay!
Last weekend I planted some Cilantro, Basil, and Oregano. I'm still waiting for the seeds to sprout. Patience, Sarah. Patience.
Detail of one of a pair of windows by artist, Tom Denny, in the church of St Felix, Felixstowe, Suffolk. Installed in autumn 2018 they tell the story of St Faustina and her visions of the Divine Mercy.
In the left hand light of this window we see St Faustina herself, in her cell in the convent at Plock and experiencing one of her many visions. In the right hand light are shown people approaching a fork in the road, as they choose to move on to heaven or hell. The seedlings in the lower part of the window are a reference to Faustina's work as a gardener when she lived in a convent in what is now Vilnius but which, during her life time (1905 - 1938) was still in her native Poland. The tiny picture at the top is an image of Christ meeting the Woman at the Well.
The artist's signature and date of the window ( 2018) are at the right hand bottom corner.
I had a wonderful morning down at Benholm today. Everywhere you look, nature is bursting into life once more. It really is a pleasure to be alive on days such as this..
Here, these exposed threads of fungal mycelium, snaking their way through the decomposing bark towards the tiny seedling, caught my eye.
We have started loading up our seedlings onto trays. This is so they
can be easily be moved around the property. Right now we are bringing
the seedlings in at night and letting them spend most of the day
outside. Next week we can transplant these guys into our beds. I also
planted three small trays today using the block press. Todays
plantings were just cilantro, sesame, and two types of bell peppers.
I don't know if I'm giving anything important away to my competitors (ha ha) by showing some of what i have in store for next year (or even later on this year) but here they are anyway.
I have no idea where all these seedlings are going to go once I've potted them on...
Another shot of the Four O'Clock seedlings. These are Kaleidoscope Four O'Clocks from Burpee. I am trying to find something close to the Four O'Clocks we had growing up. (My grandfather brought the seeds from Yugoslavia.)
A rice field in Azuchi, Shiga. I overexposed this so that I'd just get a strip of colour running across a white frame, with the rice only made visible by the reflection. The idea of a symmetrical shot (in outline shape, at least) appealed to me.
2013 NOTE: I deliberately went for the washed out highlights, as I had on earlier pictures, because the sky was white anyway and I liked the idea of the shoot growing out of a blank void. I don't think it was such a mis-step this time, but it's obvious I over-processed it (probably a couple of years later, when I had a phase of going overboard on Photoshop) and the image size and quality deteriorated.
This was taken in 2006, whatever Flickr says.
This seedling came up in the red
tall splendens, it is heavily variegated and slower growing, the others that germinated are now in bud.
Seedlings of Phyllocladus aspleniifolius (celerytop pine) growing on the banks of the Meander River, Tasmania.
