Jade Bush Beans (another of my illustrations for @botanical_interests)
These beans are fast growing and big producers! Even though they’re considered “bush beans”, I grow them on a pole or trellis.
One of the challenges of creating these seed packet illustrations is showing a super full and bountiful plant. If you grow beans, you know their habit isn’t normally this tidy or voluptuous. It takes at least 5 sketches of various plants, flowers and fruit to construct a successful marketing image. That’s the challenge AND fun!

Green Globe and Purple of Romagna Artichokes - not the most prolific plant to grow in Colorado, but doable.
A member of the thistle family, the “equiangular spiral” pattern is easily seen on the artichoke fruit. When drawing, I always start with a pencil sketch that defines the “pattern architecture” of the plant. This acts as a scaffold on which to build my drawing.

Happy Easter. What better way to celebrate than with a cluster of Easter Egg Blend radishes!

Tight on garden space? Grow your veggies in pots - including peas! Tom Thumb shelling peas are perfect to grow on a light-filled windowsill in your kitchen.
One of the fun things about illustrating seed packet art is that every so often I get to include a “prop”. This pot is one of my favorites as it’s bright, colorful pattern adds some fun pizazz to an otherwise “green” composition!

Now I'm really ready for the new season!! Squares are lined out, yesterday i finished the trellis to support the mangetout / sugarsnaps and they are planted early this morning! I made square / cross like supports as you can see.. i hope it works. A long line of higher plants would take to much light of my greenhouse. In my dreams i see a huge pilar of pea-plants. Time will tell me if it works!
Tomorrow i will be busy in the school garden, but hopefully i can start to sow and plant later this week. Forecasts looking good so far!
