Longer days, longer weeks.

Spring has sprung and the days are getting longer, and somehow the weeks feel as if they are stretching as well. No more new garden this week, but I did visit my friend Mark at his south tampa house to photograph his at home garden. Mark is an activist/artist who spends his days tattooing and his nights tagging and wheatpasting. You can see his work here and his garden here:

I'm also want to include a few from the set that I really liked:


Can you tell what these are?

I thought these were just awesome; these rain barrel collection units are available to any resident of hillsborough county for absolutely free, and they may be available through other county or state sponsored programs as well. They are super easy to use, just direct the rainflow from you gutters to the top of the barrel, and a screen catches all unwanted solid matter and creates super clean water for irrigation. get some now!

mark makes jonelle do all the work...


Mark and Jo offered to accompany me out to sweetwater farms this week to photograph and get free food, so look for that in the next update or so. my gardens are doing pretty well, even in the crappy florida sand. Fruits are stating to pop up, as well as flowers, so hopefully a good update will be in order in the next day or two.
