A black and white macro photograph of silvergrass seeds still clinging to a vertical stem, resembling small brooms or dry fishing flies, depending on your frame of reference. Other stems and seeds are blurred in the background, creating indistinct patterns.

<p>Inside a shed. With three windows to look out of. It’s not raining for once. </p><p>The shed is almost entirely made from recycled, reused, reclaimed and repaired materials. <br><a href="/tags/repairreuserecycle/" rel="tag">#RepairReuseRecycle</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/solarpunk/" rel="tag">#SolarPunk</a> <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a></p>

Windows fitted on three sides of a shed. One window has a white frame with no glass. The end window is a recycled shower screen and the third window has a green painted frame with white window panels. The windows will be painted when the weather has warmed up enough. Inside the shed are five wooden core sample boxes stacked on a table and a bench respectively. Some bottles of various home made amendments for the garden are stacked inside two blue wooden crates. Some reclaimed blue chipboard is fixed underneath the windows.

Yellow Tulips Triptych left is the left part of my three-part triptych. This consists of three acrylic paintings in portrait format, each with a beautiful tulip blossom painted in bright yellow and orange tones. They shine against an abstract background that suggests a spring garden in fresh green tones. The three parts of the triptych are available both individually in my shop and combined as a complete triptych in horizontal panoramic format.

A lucky day is a watercolor painting in landscape format painted by artist Karen Kaspar
The watercolor painting is built up of many layers of different bright fresh green tones and shows the abstracted detail of a wildflower meadow with many four-leaf clovers. On one of the clovers sits a red ladybird with black dots. Due to the strong complementary contrast between red and green, this little lucky ladybird is the focus of the picture and attracts attention. The four-leaf clovers and the ladybird are symbols of luck. I wish you that this picture brings a lot of luck and joy into your home.

<p>I tried out the trommel. It sieved a wheelbarrow load of compost in no time. <a href="/tags/solarpunk/" rel="tag">#SolarPunk</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/compost/" rel="tag">#Compost</a></p>

A wire mesh cylinder with bike rims and tyres at each end sits on a wooden frame over a wheelbarrow. Sieved compost is in the wheelbarrow. Oversized compost materials are in a blue trug between the handles of the wheelbarrow.

A wheelbarrow of sieved home made compost and a blue trug of larger compost pieces to go back into the compost pile.

<p>Hi from Rhode Island!</p><p>Artist, gardener, and quiet observer of the small world in my backyard.</p><p>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<br> the bees take over the flowers.</p><p>I grow vegetables, paint some of the birds I see, and share the little moments happening right outside my door.</p><p>Nice to meet you. 🌿🐦🐝</p><p><a href="/tags/birding/" rel="tag">#Birding</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/backyardnature/" rel="tag">#BackyardNature</a> <a href="/tags/pollinators/" rel="tag">#Pollinators</a> <a href="/tags/watercolor/" rel="tag">#Watercolor</a></p>

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.

Bright orange tiger lilies blooming in the garden above yellow black-eyed Susans. The lilies are speckled with dark spots and curl outward, standing tall against a soft green woodland background.

Cluster of large green tomatoes growing on the vine in my garden, resting in my hand for scale. The plants are lush and leafy, with several smooth tomatoes still ripening.

Watercolor painting of two small finches perched on a branch. One bird faces forward with a round, fluffy body while the other looks toward it, both painted in soft natural colors.

<p>Spring has sprung on the plot. <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/spring/" rel="tag">#Spring</a></p>

The late afternoon sun is peeking through between a line of trees and sits just above an allotment shed’s roof. A handful of bright yellow daffodils provide a burst of colour on the edge of a growing bed of ryegrass green manure. In the background the blue shed with green framed windows has water butts at either end to collect the rain water from the roof. Several small blue containers under the windows hold various liquid amendments.

<p>Results of a couple of hours of compost turning. <a href="/tags/compost/" rel="tag">#Compost</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/allotment/" rel="tag">#Allotment</a> <a href="/tags/nodig/" rel="tag">#NoDig</a> <a href="/tags/mulch/" rel="tag">#Mulch</a> <a href="/tags/solarpunk/" rel="tag">#SolarPunk</a></p>

A four bay compost pen made with pallets and various wooden fences. Three compost piles are in the bays. One pile of hot compost started last summer on the left, a cold compost pile of grassier materials on the right. Just visible behind the cold pile is a pile made from the winter veg peelings, sawdust and horse manure. Three compost daleks alongside the wooden bays contain weeds and green manures removed from the beds this spring.

A view of the compost bays from the other side. A hazel pole is propping up the middle fence divider. The compost bay is empty. The other three bays have compost piles. The nearest pile will be turned into the empty pile. The composting materials in the three daleks will be turned into the newly emptied bay. Any new compost material will once again go into the compost daleks. Each layer of green material in the daleks has sawdust and reasonably fresh horse manure added to it.

Five coloured trugs of home made compost ready for adding to the raised bed at home. Three trugs are yellow, one trug is blue and the other trug is turquoise. They have been quickly sieved with a trommel. They are on a path of wood chip and shredded verbena prunings.

<p>Una de las maneras de enfriar paredes es colocar vegetación al frente. Hace rato queremos poner alguna enredadera, pero no podemos hacer hoyos en la pared. La vecina nos había regalado recortes de su Ipomoea, que sembramos en macetas en lo que hacíamos alguna estructura móvil. Ya habían pegado y periódicamente había que desenredarlas de las otras plantas que tenemos sembradas. Finalmente ayer quedó listo un soporte para que se trepen y las instalamos. Justo a tiempo para la época de calor. <a href="/tags/plantasurbanas/" rel="tag">#PlantasUrbanas</a> <a href="/tags/floraurbana/" rel="tag">#FloraUrbana</a> <a href="/tags/urbanflora/" rel="tag">#UrbanFlora</a> <a href="/tags/climatechangeadaptation/" rel="tag">#ClimateChangeAdaptation</a> <a href="/tags/gardening/" rel="tag">#Gardening</a> <a href="/tags/jardineria/" rel="tag">#Jardineria</a></p>

Pared con malla de gallinero al frente, donde empieza a trepar una enredadera. A los lados tiene macetas más pesadas (una con higo y otra con cítrico) para anclarla.
