At least I can grow something – Inktense on Cartridge Paper
The first of this year’s garlic harvest is tied up and hanging in the greenhouse to dry. Its the only thing I grow which I am self sufficient in, the crop of around 50 bulbs will last until this time next year. This stuff is amazing having been planted in October and survived the winter under all that snow. It was buried under three feet of the stuff when John Stremikis visited in January so this crop, John, is dedicated to you, for Auld Lang Syne – I know you like your food.
Garlic Joke : Guy buys food from his supermarket. He puts cheese, pickle and garlic on a sandwich then goes on a blind date. The girl, he meets, takes one deep breath and disappears for ever. The guy is going to sue the supermarket because the packaging said “Best before date …”

500 at last, congratulate I must!!!
You say: “At least I can grow something – Inktense on Cartridge Paper” How does it grow the? Do you irrigate it with water? It looks like your language to me?!!
500 GEMS – I look forward to seeing 500 more, and then another 500 and so on and so forth…

Inktense, but watecolory effect.

He He Nikira. Not really my joke but “borrowed” from the internet. You are correct about the watercoloury effect as the Inktense pigment was thinned down and applied in many layers as described in my previous post. Apart from getting a half decent effect it very therapeutic sitting going over the same parts again and again and, unlike pure watercolour, the stuff dries almost immediately. Might dry too fast in the warm weather your folks are having at the moment.
