cosmogonic art




Limited edition of 1. Natural pigments on paper, 3.5 X 11 Unsigned by artist.

Seeds dried on an envelope so fuzz does not grow in the dirt when planted. 


This is what happens to tomatoes around here. They cannot be refrigerated so tend to dry out. This is a roma, but the seeds saved are from an heirloom. Roma plants are more productive than the heirloom types, maybe they'd be better for the balcony, more plump red dots per bush than the heirlooms can do.




2 jalapeño, 1 heirloom tomato





The clay pot originally habanero, but didn't grow, then jalapeño, then tomato, then seeds from the spice cabinet, mustard and such. I think this is mustard plant. Finally. The first sign of life, different from the rest. I was beginning to regard this the pot of death.


This small plastic greenhouse has blank spots for more plants to start indoors.

Over the last several days I was helping my mom go through drawers and closets for donations, etc. Later the same day Chip posted his Aerogarden item, From under a bed two trays of compressed peat moss discs I bought a couple years ago, with some seed packets on top. It was a 'heh' moment.

I'm going to try to plant some daylily seeds I gathered. If they even sprout, they'll probably won't bloom till next year. And they'll all be different, as they come from the hybrid plants, Stella d'Oro and Happy Returns. And each of those, with the help of bees, could have crossed with themselves, each other, the common variety you see on the roadside, or one or two others kept near them. It's likely there won't be a keeper among them, but it'll be fun to see what happens.
