Spring Plowing - Acrylic, 22" x 11"
The snow is gone and it's time to start thinking about cultivating my garden plot. Seems like more often than not, I get distracted and miss my early window for tilling. This year I hope to have the ground ready for planting by mid May. We usually grow everything from beans and squash and corn, to beets, carrots, potatoes and peppers. I grew a really sweet watermelon a couple of years back and I can already almost taste those late summer tomatoes. I am really looking forward to getting plants in the ground. Nothing like fresh grown veggies in the summer. This picture was from my picture book
Spring Song, by Barbara Seuling.
Fantastic piece, thanks for the reminders of how special home grown vegetables can be.

ReplyDeleteIs our hero sporting a Farmall M, or Massey-Ferguson 65? I can tell you're near a great body of water from the gulls - we only had grackles and robins in our furrows. I can smell the fresh earth. nothing else like it. Always a joy to view your work.
ReplyDeletegorgeous. lyrical.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Z- I based the tractor on a Farmall, though it's not exact, and around here, we get the gulls. Since the Great Salt Lake is here, the gulls are a fixture in the fields.
