<p>I grew up in a city. I didn't play in the dirt. I didn't like dirt.</p><p>Three years ago I started gardening. Some successes, many failures. But I just harvested out my tomatillos and feel like "hey, I'm getting the hang of this!"</p><p>Lots of people talk up the "do scary stuff" element of being adventurous. But also, do new stuff which isn't scary! I love gardening now, and can't imagine living without a garden.</p><p><a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#gardening</a></p>

Three pink Zinnias is a watercolour painting in a modern square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. On a white background float three beautiful zinnia flowers in bright pink and rose, surrounded by fresh green leaves. I have kept this watercolour loose and fresh like a summer garden, with a vivid colour contrast between the pink flowers and the background of green leaves and the diagonal composition within the square format.

a robin follows

Robin on a perch is a hand-painted watercolour painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small robin with bright orange breast feathers stands on a square wooden perch and looks around with interest. The bird was painted with loose brushstrokes and the background was left white.
The soft watercolour style gives the overall picture a gentle and dreamy touch.

This work, a combination of painting and haiku, is a joint project by Karen Kaspar (© art and artwork) and Marjolein Rotsteeg (© Haiku).
A haiku is a traditional Japanese poetry form consisting of three lines.

<p>The compost area on the plot. The compost in the bays will be turned into the daleks to mature. More compost from elsewhere on the plot can then be added to the bays. <a href="/tags/compost/" rel="tag">#Compost</a> <a href="/tags/composting/" rel="tag">#Composting</a> <a href="/tags/mulch/" rel="tag">#Mulch</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="/tags/nodig/" rel="tag">#NoDig</a></p>

Four pallets and an old section of wooden fence make up two bays for storing compost. One bay is about a third full and the other is two thirds full of homemade compost. Three plastic daleks of compost line the other side of the fence section. One dalek has its lid off to reveal a full container of maturing compost. A 20 year old wheelbarrow and two planters of carrots are in front of the compost bays. One of the plot robins is standing on the back pallet seeing if there are any worms to be had.

$1. The Dirty Food Dilemma 2. Woman seated at desk in front of laptop speaking to another woman: A lot of the food we eat contains microplastics or PFAS. 3. Woman 2: That does it! We're starting a small farm and growing our own food! 4. Woman 1: OK. But it can't be near fracking or polluted water. 5. Woman 1: Or anywhere near a coal-fired power plant. 6. Woman 1: Or someplace with climate change problems like extreme temperatures, drought, or flooding. 7. Woman 1: Or a spot surrounded by far-right militia types who wouldn't welcome us. 8. Woman 2: So I need a personal space station with a greenhouse full of kale. Woman 1: I'll see what I can do. 9. A "Tinygrow" hydroponic gardening system containing one head of kale has appeared. Woman 2: Sigh.$

<p>I had to learn the hard way that Cannabis is in fact and entry drug. 2 years ago with German legalization I grew my first plant and now I am really into gardening and botany and learning more about plants and ecology. I'm even a lot more attentive to just random plants growing at the side of the road</p><p><a href="/tags/cannabis/" rel="tag">#Cannabis</a> <a href="/tags/growing/" rel="tag">#Growing</a> <a href="/tags/weed/" rel="tag">#Weed</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a></p>

<p>Even a small pond is worthwhile. There’s been so much insect life in and around this little pond that was put in earlier this year. Spiders, hoverflies, flies, solitary bees, newts, frogs. <a href="/tags/pond/" rel="tag">#Pond</a> <a href="/tags/ponds/" rel="tag">#Ponds</a> <a href="/tags/biodiversity/" rel="tag">#Biodiversity</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a></p>

A small container pond with green algae and various pond plants flag iris, brooklime, bog bean, lesser spearwort, hornwort and water violet. There’s a gentle slope of stones down from one end towards the middle. The pond is surrounded by various flowers. Orange marigolds, white alyssum, borage that’s gone over, pink cosmos and some purple bowles mauve.

<p>There’s no such thing as having too much compost. There’s more to bring over from another plot. <a href="/tags/compost/" rel="tag">#Compost</a> <a href="/tags/composting/" rel="tag">#Composting</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/mulch/" rel="tag">#Mulch</a> <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="/tags/solarpunk/" rel="tag">#SolarPunk</a></p>

Front of an allotment plot with two compost heaps. One is freshly built and green. The other is older, smaller and a darker brown. Behind the compost piles a rhubarb plant is starting to wilt. Huauzontle Aztec broccoli leaves have gone pink and a tree spinach is setting seed. A rudimentary fence has been set up on the other side of the plot to protect autumn sown crops from the muntjac.

Two compost bays with maturing compost in both. One pile is finer quality than the other. Two planters of carrots are in front of one of the bays. Bamboo canes stand upright in the pallets that divide the two bays. An old garden fence divides the second compost bay from various compost daleks. There are six in total, not all in view. Two contain wood chip, one has maturing compost for next years potting mix, two have fresh veg scraps, one contains sawdust. Behind the compost bays is a dead hedge of sorts and a hedge lined boundary of a nature reserve.

<p>Took a screen break to plant 24 taters. The soil in the bed is in good shape this year. Soft, wormy, smells fertile. Hints of dark chocolate, dried cherries, and toasted pecans 😂 <a href="/tags/potatoes/" rel="tag">#potatoes</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#gardening</a></p>

A 3 x 8 foot raised bed filled with soil. Looking closely you may see some potato sprouts poking out of the 24 mounds.

Closeup of a cluster of pink lemon flower buds at the center of several green leaves. One flower is open, and there is a golden honeybee head-down inside it, sticking its butt in the air.
