Now that the gardening season is in full swing here in Kentucky, I realize that I miss gardening. To offset that yearning I visited the Berea Community Garden in Berea, Kentucky. Several gardeners were there working their plots which they pay twenty-five dollars for -- giving them a full gardening season. The plots are exceptionally large and most are well maintained by a great cast of gardeners.
When I came upon this beautiful cabbage patch I just had to take some photos of its full splendor. I found the heads and large leaves all very artistic. Nature gives us such a lovely palette of colors, shades, lights, shapes, and lines.
Beautiful cabbage. $25 sounds like a good deal for your own little plot of land for the season.
ReplyDeleteRubye -- I don't know if they have any plots left but it would be worth checking into. I find gardening can be such a great meditative experience -- wiping your slate fairly clean of problems if you have any. Do you have community gardens in your area? thanks for the comment -- barbara
DeleteBeautiful -- the light on the leaves, the veins of the leaves! All implying that slightly sweet crunch of fresh raw cabbage.
ReplyDeleteJune -- you sound like you like your cabbage how I like it -- raw. It really is a healthy vegetable for us. Well all veggies are healthy but some more than others.
DeleteSince I got my new camera I keep sneaking away from my work. I am very undisciplined sometimes.
I would say have a good weekend but when you are retired all days are weekends. -- barbara
I only wish I could pick one through the screen :-)
ReplyDeleteRuneE -- I would imagine that cabbage plants would do well in your country. thanks for the comment -- barbara
DeleteI know what you mean about gardening. Nothing puts me right with the world like going out and working in my yard.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are posting again.
Hattie -- Everyone should garden -- or at least the politicians should! Posts will be hit and miss throughout the summer. Will slowly work back to regular posting. thanks for the comment -- barbara
DeleteI grew up on military bases and my mom (a KY native) would always pay for a garden plot each season.
ReplyDeleteMichelle -- Nice to hear from you. Your mom sounds like an early partaker of the Community Garden idea. One sure can have nice fresh veggies all summer by participating. thanks -- barbara
