Tending The Beet Seedlings in June
Tending The Beet Seedlings in June
When you grow your own food, you discover the deep connection to the seasonal cycles and the life-affirming pleasure of nurturing seedlings into vitality. This artwork celebrates that simple, joyful moment in June when you tend your beet seedlings, feeling the cool soil between your fingers and watching tiny green shoots reach toward the sun. It honors the profound satisfaction that comes from touching soil, watering plants, and knowing you're growing what will sustain you. Vibrant green and purple tones express the joy and sensual delight of growing fresh food in an organic urban garden. Through thoughtful lighting and framing, this photograph illuminates the delicate beet seedlings with their vivid crimson stems and tender leaves, revealing the beauty and unique variety that can flourish even in a small backyard space. The immediacy of the color invites you to appreciate the remarkable vitality of these young plants as they transform from seed to seedling to harvest

“In this artwork, I wanted to capture the tender care I give to my plants to help them grow big and healthy. If my plants are vibrant they will make me, my friends, and family who eat them vibrant as well. Backyard organic vegetable gardening is something that anyone can do to reduce the carbon footprint and increase your health by eating more fresh, nutritious organic produce! In this artwork I used a special photography technique to capture the individual drops of water coming from the watering can. I use an analogous color scheme green, blue, and purple to express a sense of harmony between myself and the plants as I care for them. ”
