I told you about sawing seeds for three days ago. Now the seeds have grown a little, I can see small, tiny sprouts come up from the soil under the canopy top (a dictionary word). You can also see plants that were rooting in water in their pots for growing up. Later they will be outside in the garden. I have more of them, but I can´t draw them all.
Great sketch of the seeds being started in the container and the plants sprouting in the little jars. Nice breezy feel to the laundry hanging outside. Welcome spring!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Joan, I say that too!!
DeleteWow, Sirkka, these are so lovely. What seeds are you sprouting?
ReplyDeleteMargaret, thanks, mostly in this container they are a sort of tagetes, yellow flowers, I cant find the English name. and there are too tomatoes. Tometoes have not sprouted yet.
DeleteMargaret, I searched after the English name of tagetes, and found the name Marigold,
Deleteoh yes! lovely marigolds :) and tomatoes! can't wait to see your pictures of those, too. I love seeing the beautiful woods around your house.
DeleteThey are coming up quickly! Love both sketches!
ReplyDeleteYes, Melisa, I agree. Thank you!
DeleteThat's quick!....you must have *'green fingers' Sirkka...(* a phrase to describe somebody who is good at growing plants). It's so nice to see a glimpse into your part of the world with your paintings.
ReplyDeleteIt was really quickly. Yes, Ann, I know this phrase, I don´t know, how it suites on me, but I am intrested in plants and love experiment with plants. I will with pleasure show you a little about how it works here in my part of the world.
DeleteI love your "at home" wonderful garden paintings here! Love the idea of sowing your own seeds to plant outdoors; and hanging laundry out to dry. My mother had a clothes line outside when we were growing up and the dried by the sun sheets always smelled so good. Lovely paints as usual!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lynn. I guess you dont need to so any seeds to plant outdoors, you can saw perhaps directly outdoors. Here it can be cold nights untill to the beginning of june, so the plants which needs a longer time before flowering must be sawn indoors first. One of the good things with living in countryside is that you can hang out the laundry to dry! And yes, clothes smells so good after that!
DeleteWonderful preparations for spring and great drawings.
ReplyDeleteFran, the preparations of spring make the spring time so hopeful and cheerful! Thank you!
DeleteI love this Sirkka. Hanging clothes is one of my favorite things to do. Right up my alley. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gloria! Glad to hear that you do the same things! The life is quite the same all over the world in the ground, isn´t it!
