Showing off my early spring bounty!
This week's Focus on Life photo prompt is "The View About the Ground."
Last weekend, a farm near where I work (Bailas Farms) held a Mother's Day Sale - mostly selling plants for our gardens. I loaded up! It was a really great weekend.
I have only planted the hardiest of my haul so far, I never trust the weather.
The lettuces looked beautiful in the rain this evening! I have planted the little lettuce starts in a large pot, then sewed more lettuce seed and radish seed between them. I almost hate the pick the largest ones, look how pretty they are in the evening rain.
Photographing flowers was tempting, but I thought these pictures were beautiful in their own right!
Now lets see what the others' view is like.
I love the lettuce looks like a good salad in the making.
ReplyDeleteLove those lettuce leaves. The second pic is wonderful -- how it highlights the droplets decorating their surface. Sounds like you have a green thumb - not a gift I am endowed with so I will live vicariously through you!
ReplyDeleteLove that last picture with the raindrops sitting on the lettuce leaves. I am like Paula and have not talent for gardening, but admire those that do.
ReplyDeleteI just planted a pot of letuce yesterday.. if I plant it in the ground the deer eat it... Your lettuce is very photogenic!
ReplyDeleteThey are truly beautiful - I would hate to pick them, too. They do look pretty w/the rain drops on them. Don't you just love the wonderful colors and shapes that nature provides us?
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors of the lettuce. One of these days I'm actually going to have a garden....
ReplyDeleteHow cool are they! I love how the water looks on them.....and I am like you, I hate to pick things when they all blend so well together!!! Great Post. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJust perfect! and yummy too :)
