Red Giant Mustard Outline

Here is the beginning of an illustration for SESE of Red Giant Mustard:
I really like this point in the drawing. Probably because I just really like lines. The way you can make something look almost shaded by varying the line width is neat. And I really like red leafy greens. Red Giant Mustard is particularly beautiful. I might have to get some seeds for the garden we are making for the kitty owner. She wants lots of things to make big beautiful healthy salads with and this fits the bill.
Today we planted out some seeds in flats that we had recently germinated and found them little niches in the house in the windows. It's exciting of course and I am wondering how we will have room for everything we want to grow. It is tricky with sixteen cats to find places in windows that they can't get to.

  1. Can you answer me a seed question?!
    I have my seeds planted and all the lettuce type things have sprouted but the veg and flowers have not. I've kept them all in a dark room with wet newspaper on them thinking that I would do that until they sprout and then put them in a sunny place. I used to do that with wheat grass and just figured it would work with everything. Any thoughts?

  2. Hmmm, have you looked into how long the normal germination time is? maybe it is fine and they will sprout soon? how long has it been? what types of flowers and veggies are they?

  3. Okay, More things have started sprouting. Some flowers and veg and I can see the peas moving the dirt around. I think it will be fine. Thanks!!
