Hi from Rhode Island!

Artist, gardener, and quiet observer of the small world in my backyard.

You’ll usually find me near the feeders or in the garden watching the neighborhood wildlife. Chickadees supervise, the crows recognize me, and in summer
the bees take over the flowers.

I grow vegetables, paint some of the birds I see, and share the little moments happening right outside my door.

Nice to meet you. 🌿🐦🐝

#Birding #Gardening #BackyardNature #Pollinators #Watercolor

Sticker of my chickadee watercolor placed on a mossy tree stump outdoors, with a forested background. The small bird illustration sits on a branch and blends naturally into the woodland setting.

Poppy Dream is a hand-painted watercolor painting in portrait format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
Two bright red poppies bloom against a background of fresh yellow and green tones. The flowers are depicted in a loose and airy manner and contrast with the background, the delicate green stems and a single unopened bud. The softly blurred depiction of the petals lends the picture a calm, dreamy and ethereal quality.

Step by step, section by section, the garden clean-up continues. Due to the very wet month of August, it's a lot weedier than usual, and progress is tedious, but (beside the yet-to-be-gathered butternut squash) this is the last big harvest of the year (gathering material for the ever-expanding compost piles. We hope there is enough good weather left for them to rot down considerably before the freeze comes.

A very weedy garden bed, partially cleared. The expired plants and weeds are being piled up in a black garden cart. The cart has a pitchfork laying on it. To the right is a garden fork stuck in the ground. To the left is a large patch of butternut squash and to the right are the remains of this year's tomato plants.

#Pottery #Gardening

I made two Terra Cotta ollas to sink into one of my raised garden bed. You fill these with water and the water slowly seeps through the porous clay into the dirt. The roots of the plants are attracted to this slow water seepage and surround the pots. I'm testing these near my tomato plants and hoping for the best. (photos attached)

Two fat-bellied Terra Cotta pots with short narrow neck with cork stopper plugging the hole. They are sitting on a black and white Indian print tablecloth.

ALT

In one of my raised garden beds, a hole was dug in-between the basil and a tomato plant, and one of the ollas was placed in the hole. It was then covered with dirt and mulch.

ALT

The olla is shown fully buried in the raised garden bed, except for the top of the neck and cork. It was filled with water before sinking it into the dirt.

Strolling through the 32 hectares Keukenhof gardens in The Netherlands. Absolutely the most spectacular display of spring flowers on the planet.

#Tulips #Gardening #BloomScrolling

A picture of a large display of purple Muscari . The planting bed is approximately 2 metres wide and over 100 metres long with vibrant purple blooms. Yellow tulips border on both sides with green hedges beyond those. Large trees on either side frame the background.

A large bed of tulips, roughly 40 metres wide and 20 metres deep, fills the photo from right to left. There are horizontal bands of colours including, and white, red and white, white, yellow and red. In the background are several large mature trees with people strolling pathways.

A close-up of a rose blossom in shades of pink, rose and red shows how the delicate petals unfurl outwards from the centre. The gentle colour gradients and highlights create a sense of depth and emphasise the natural beauty of the flower.

I kept this olla from the most recent batch because it formed a hairline crack in the neck. Imperfect but still useful. I’m using it to irrigate my favorite warm-weather leafy greens, giant red mustard.

For best results, you have to dig deep and bury the olla all the way up to its neck, compensating for the fact that soil settles with repeat watering. You want moisture underground directed at the roots, not evaporating into the air. #gardening #OllasByOsa

A diptych: left frame shows a lidded terracotta jar sitting inside a deep hole in the garden, surrounded by dark soil. The right frame shows the same jar now buried, with only the neck and lid visible above the soil.

My best gardening discovery of the last few years: Salanova lettuce. It is a head lettuce that grows in small bunches, but if you cut out the core it falls apart into "baby" lettuce pieces.

It is super easy to germinate, and holds in the heat really well without bolting or turning too bitter. I planted this head in March!

The seeds (johnnyseeds.com) are expensive but they are open-pollinated and one plant left to bolt will produce hundreds of seeds for next year. A++

A corny poll... So, there's enough distance between my garden and the community garden to grow 2 different types of corn. Torn between what two varieties to grow. I've narrowed it down to three. 🌽 🍿 🌾
