The other week I made a confession about my aversion to gardening and all things horticultural and I was challenged to include a possible gardening theme for a future Sepia Saturday. Well, here it is - for Sepia Saturday 224 (post your post on or around Saturday 19th April 2014) you can choose from gardens, gardening, watering cans, and men stood watching women do all the work. The title of this 1943 photograph, which appears on the US National Archives stream on Flickr, is "Frequent watering of the Victory Garden is necessary during the early stages of growth". You are, of course, able to interpret the theme image in any way you want : all you have to do is to post a post and link it to the list below.
Before you start planting any seeds of a post, you might want to take a look at what is to come in the next couple of weeks.
225 - 26 April 2014 : Music, jukeboxes, the 1950s.
226 - 3 May 2014 : May Day, Dancing, Folk Traditions, Silly Poses
But before all that music and dance, it is time to concentrate on the flower power. Plant those old pictures and see what posts blossom
I have noted the Linky error message and have submitted a Help Desk Ticket. Hopefully it will be corrected soon.
ReplyDeleteError corrected. Thanks Mr Linky Helpdesk.
ReplyDeleteThe May 3, 2014 image is the same as the image used April 28, 2012.
ReplyDeleteHere's one I prepared earlier, ie. before coming to England, where so far we've been enjoying fine weather and lovely spring blossoms and bulbs in all the parks and gardens.
ReplyDeleteSome gar-den-ing photos with a few laughs just for fun.
ReplyDeleteI have a gardener in my submission this week, and all the subjects are posing in the garden - will that do?
ReplyDeleteI have some postcards advertising garden tools.
ReplyDeleteI have updated the theme image for 226 again (it seems I had used the May pole image before). If you wanted to follow the May Day theme you still can and there are also possibilities for folk traditions and silly poses.
ReplyDeleteA photo from an earlier time in a place still to be determined.
ReplyDeleteAnd may I request again to be possibly included in the "roll call" of Sepia Saturday participants? Earlier in the year I was unable to post because of two deaths in my family so I can imagine it appeared I had no intention of participating.
Flower beds and a pumpkin patch
ReplyDeleteIt’s a miracle! I told Alan that if I posted this week it would be a miracle, so there you are. Back from my travels and I’ve spent Good Friday producing a post for Sepia Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect theme that lets me introduce a garden, a dog, and a singer - all in one.
ReplyDeleteHenry rototilling while Hugh watches. Three pictures from Old Plank Road.
ReplyDeleteGardens I have known and friendship
ReplyDeleteOf course I had to have a roundabout way to connect this post to the theme. lol Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWandering a bit off the beaten path with two uses for which a garden was used.
ReplyDeleteUncle Allen Taylor features this week.
ReplyDeleteSharing and enjoying being a blogger along with you all. Have a great Saturday everyone!
ReplyDeleteHello Alan, my garden is in! A most Happiest of Easter to you too.
ReplyDeleteToo wet to get out into my actual garden today, so instead I have borrowed some other peoples' gardens.
ReplyDeleteJust a few folks out in the garden.
ReplyDeleteFrom Springwood to San Francisco to Canberra to Leura....my typical frog like behaviour....jumping all about.
