Picture This Photo Contest Entry
Gardening Gone Wild hosts a monthly photo contest, Picture This. March’s theme is Awakening. I chose to enter this photo because it captures two arugula seedlings that have just sprouted—they almost look like they have awoken from a long winter’s nap. These little plants appeared in my garden with hardly any work on my part. In fall, I always allow arugula to flower and set seed. The tiny self-sown seeds lay in wait over the winter and then germinate in spring all on their own, often giving me a very early crop. Finding self-sown vegetable seedlings is one of my favorite things about gardening because it reminds me that I play only a small role in making my garden grow!

You didn’t give the link to the IMAGE, itself! Hurry and read the directions for the contest more carefully and re-enter “http://www.digginfood.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/arugulaseedlings.jpg” (I got this by right-clicking or option-clicking on the image …) Good luck!

March 11th, 2010 at 2:49 pmI love babies of all kinds. What a beautiful picture Willi! Not matter what the outcome, it is a winner to me.
March 11th, 2010 at 6:51 pmYay Arugula! I have a few coming up in my garden as well. I have been seeing all the chard come up too! You are right, they don’t need us as much as we need them sometimes. Thanks also for the link to a new site; it looks like a good one. Good Luck with your photo!

I wish us all a rapid return to warm temps and sunshine soon so we can get these babies (and my brassica babies) to put on some true leaves!
(but I must admit, I’m glad for some spring rain and mountain snow!)
