A Bevy of Garden Beauties

Garden produce raised to the level of art. I give you:



Still Life with Vegetables and Herbs

2007

(Heirloom yellow crook-neck squash, Italian zucchini, red and orange peppers, and heirloom cilantro, against a backdrop of porcelain tile work, with an embroidered tea towel, and a stainless steel German olive oil decanter.)

Thank you, thank you. Please, the applause is just too much. Really, it was nothing.

(Some of my best work, don't you think?)

Bravo! Wow! Would you be interested in exchanging some seeds? I've got a plethora of Love-in-a-Mist, Nasturtiums, Snapdragons and more. I sure would like some squash seeds...

What a lovely arrangement. I can't decide if it makes me want to order room service or go to a museum. Erik must see this. Thanks for all the work that goes into the site. Now I know what it takes!

Gretchen,

I've never saved squash seeds before, but we'll give it a try together. I would love some flower seeds from your garden. I have the feeling mine will never measure up to yours though! That Love-in-a-Mist is so awesome!

Well, you already ordered room service, twice. You also went to a museum, an art museum even...I won't say more about that but you know what I'm talking about. (*clears throat)

Lisa, this is truly a very nice arrangement. I am a little bit jealous about your harvest. Here in Germany we had to much rain in the past weeks, the only thing which has grown quite well was cucumber and zucchini. My tomatoes are still green, but I have still hope...

greetings from Germany,

Erik.
