My vegetable plants






one



two, three tomatoes..



Chingensai (bok choi)



I volunteer in JASA senior center teaching art class every Friday morning and the activity what we did today was watercolor. I always enjoy teaching and have great time with them.

My vegetable plants are getting bigger and what I am so excited about is that I grow them in the city and I can't wait to see some ladybugs and bees visiting my balcony!

Have a great holiday weekend!

Isn't it the best feeling this time of year, when the vegetables start? We're knee-deep in our garden right now. What fun to do watercolors of the vegetables, too!

My favorites are your water colored vegetable plants. I wish you could teach me: the best teachers are those who enjoy what they do.

Well done – it makes a nice change to read something that makes sense. Pleasing on the eye too. You have a real nice site!
