premiere shot of narrow leaf zinnias, backyard, with a recently acquired pentax k1000. provia 100, hand-held, no filter.
so this is from the first roll i shot with a new camera - “new camera” as in “new camera to me” - a pentax k1000. manufactured from 1976-1997, the k1000 is probably one of the simplest, most direct slr’s one can use: there are only three controls to manage - focus, shutter speed, and aperture. that’s it - which attributed to it being tremendously popular. and if you think you’re pretty good at guessing shutter speeds, forget a battery - it’s only needed for the built-in straight-forward light meter - literally a small needle that rises or falls as shutter speeds change. the mirror is remarkably smooth and clear, as is the lens that came with the body. with a minimal amount of shutter speeds to choose from, though, the proper film for light conditions needs to be loaded - otherwise, things tend towards dense saturation, even moreso as evidence here by the already high-contrast provia 100 film. but the clarity of the scans, this camera will be set firmly in the rotation for landscape and walk-about work. welcome k!

Hello? Are you still there? I've been away for months.
But I'm back. I think. Yup..probably.
Enjoy this picture of an okra flower. I had no idea what they looked like until today.

These are Papaver cambrium, the Welsh poppy.  These poppies like it wetter and shadier than their California cousins.  What were little patches of these are turning into lush big patches in Mom and Dad’s yard.

I am going to plant butter malàxkwsita alongside the màxkwim that is about a foot tall already.
My youngest child planted a tehim seed last year and the little bush now has three berries developing on it alongside several more flowers. 🧡
We have sugar snap malàxkwsita growing in two separate beds and a variety of malàxkwsita (burgundy, Cherokee wax, asparagus, I think?) in pots on the porch.
Glad to have followed my intuition and planted a little early this year. We will see if I still feel that way next week after the threat of frost passes.

Planting Pumpkins!
Never tried this before. We shall see.
Also yes I completely forgot about this account for large amounts of the past several years and am trying to remember to post more to remind myself that it's here.

What are the most common gardening types?
Gardening, a timeless hobby that brings joy and peace to many, is as diverse as the plants it nurtures. With a plethora of techniques and styles, it's no wonder that the realm of horticulture is ever-evolving. In this article, we'll delve into the most common gardening types, exploring the variety and beauty each method brings to our green spaces.
Tumblr media
Introduction to Gardening Diversity
Ah, gardening! Whether you're a seasoned pro or a budding enthusiast, there's always something new to learn in the world of gardening. From the classic backyard plots to innovative urban solutions, the array of gardening types is as vast as a well-tended field. So, let's roll up our sleeves and dig into the most popular gardening methods out there!
1. Container Gardening: Small Spaces, Big Impact
Don't have much land? No problem! Container gardening is a fantastic solution for those with limited space. It's all about growing plants in pots or containers, which can range from traditional clay pots to creative upcycled items. Ideal for balconies, patios, or even windowsills, container gardening allows you to bring nature right to your doorstep. Plus, it's a great way to grow herbs, flowers, and even small vegetables.
2. Raised Bed Gardening: Elevating Your Garden Game
Raised bed gardening involves creating elevated boxes filled with soil, which are used for growing plants. This method not only makes a stunning visual statement but also offers practical benefits like improved soil drainage and reduced weed invasion. It's especially beneficial for those with back problems, as it minimizes bending and kneeling. Raised beds can be crafted from various materials, including wood, stone, or even recycled plastics.
3. Vertical Gardening: Reach for the Skies
When horizontal space is scarce, why not think vertically? Vertical gardening is all about growing plants upwards, using structures like trellises, wall planters, or even hanging baskets. This approach not only saves space but also adds a unique aesthetic to any area. It's perfect for climbing plants, such as ivy or certain vegetables, and is a popular choice in urban environments.
4. Hydroponic Gardening: Soil-less Wonders
Hydroponic gardening is like sci-fi come to life! It involves growing plants in a water-based, nutrient-rich solution, without soil. This type of gardening allows for precise control over nutrients and water, leading to faster plant growth. It's an ideal method for indoor gardening and is gaining popularity among those who seek a more sustainable and efficient way to grow food.
5. Community Gardening: Growing Together
Community gardening is more than just a method; it's about coming together to cultivate not only plants but also relationships. These gardens are shared spaces where people come together to grow food and flowers. They're a fantastic way to foster community spirit, learn from one another, and enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of collective labor.
Conclusion: Gardening for Everyone
Gardening is a world of endless possibilities, and these most common gardening types just scratch the surface. Whether you're interested in the Different Types of Gardening Methods, or you're just getting started, there's a gardening style out there for you. Remember, the key to a successful garden isn't just the method you choose; it's the love and care you put into it. So, grab your gloves, pick your style, and let's make the world a greener place, one plant at a time!
