My daughter is now a farmer! She's growing vegetables on the deck!

This is so crisp and the colors so excellent. Wonderful image, Betty.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael!
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I wish her luck. At least this way no bears can get at them (?), well at least I hope not. A very colorful photo.

@Marion: Oh, the bears can definitely get them... all they have to do is walk up two steps on to the deck! Thank you, Marion!
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Good for your daughter! You gotta grow them where you can!!! Great shot Betty!

@MJ: I think it's both!! :-) Framing and farming!!!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Sweet Jessica, Love what she's doing, Love that you photographed it...Really sweetie, I DO NOTHING,but I sure love taking photos of people doing stuff lol

@Lorraine: She won't let me photograph her tending her garden! She won't let me photograph her!
Glad that you like taking pictures of people doing things... they are great! :-)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Good for your daughter - and probably you too!
Her plants surly look happy there!

@Judy: If all the plants do well, we'll be swimming in vegetables! I told her to set up a farm stand on the road!!! :-)
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
She really is orderly too! I hope she has lots of fun.
13 Jun 2008 2:43pm
@Earnest: She never grew anything before... and she's cracking me up! She had a crises with aphids on her peas, but soapy water solved that. She protects them from storms... a good little farmer!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Wonderful garden - I am glad she is growing her own vegetables. There is nothing quite like eating something you helped to grow!! And it is appropriate too - after all this is the Garden State!!

@Chris: That was quite a battle in April! Save the Garden State, keep the NJDA! In this area (Warren County) it's still largely a farming community!
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
It won't be long before the pots are overflowing with growth. The angle in which the photo is captured works well in comparison to a "straight-on" shot.

@Steven: Thank you, Steven! Actually, the lettuce grew to a point where tonight she had to plant it in one of the flower gardens where there is room.
Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
Looks like a good start...!! Great image, nice and clear.

@Observing: Thank you.
@Anita: That's what I say!! :-)
