Love your photos; I can't get in that close with my compact digital. Do you use a tripod?
ReplyDeleteYour peas look like broad beans to me. I often don't label, thinking that I will remember when they germinate .............!!
ReplyDeleteWoody, I've got a wide angle lens on my camera (Canon G10). Don't use a tripod, but I do crop them once I get them home and do a little contrast balancing (if I was a better photographer I wouldn't need to do this). I'm using Microsoft Office Picture Manager at the mo, as I've got software issues !
ReplyDeleteCarolyn - they are definitely peas ... the meeces have left me just a few.
ReplyDeleteI got carried away when I was sowing seeds and although I've down what I sowed, I forgot to put labels into some of the trays! Happens every year ... LOL
Aah; now that (cropping them) is a good idea! Must have a go at that.
ReplyDeleteJust so exciting to see the seeds germinate every day. I can't resist poking around in the compost and giving them a helping hand!
ReplyDeleteha ha Matron, I've learned my lesson on that front - I've snapped so many delicate seedlings by giving them 'a helping hand' !!
