tiny sprouts in the garden

This is one of my favorite things about the garden... when the seed has sprouted and fresh green shoots appear with their first tender bright green leaves against the black soil. I love how completely distinctive the plant varieties are from each other, even at this early stage.
I couldn't resist taking a few 'baby portraits' in the vegetable garden in the afternoon sun.

Spinach...


Black seeded Simpson leaf lettuce...


French breakfast radishes...


Borage... (especially planted for my bees)
