Today we’re visiting with Kea. She’s a photographer by profession and grows a lot of beautiful, delicious food (among other things) in her garden in Washington, D.C. (If you want to see more, check out her Instagram.)
It all starts with seeds. Kea says, “I may or may not have a problem with my seed obsession,” but we all know you can’t possibly have too many seeds.
From seeds to seedlings. Cool-season crops like the kale on the right go out into the garden earlier than the warm-season crops like the peppers on the left.
Seedlings in the ground quickly develop into a beautiful crop of kale that’s almost too pretty to eat—almost.
Have a garden you’d like to share?
Have photos to share? We’d love to see your garden, a particular collection of plants you love, or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit!
To submit, send 5-10 photos to gpod@taunton.com along with some information about the plants in the pictures and where you took the photos. We’d love to hear where you are located, how long you’ve been gardening, successes you are proud of, failures you learned from, hopes for the future, favorite plants, or funny stories from your garden.
If you want to send photos in separate emails to the GPOD email box that is just fine.

compelling photography and photos that made me smile and filled my soul with optimism this morning. That's really something we need these days. Thank You, Kea…. and JoJo
Beautiful healthy plants, and a nicely designed raised bed! Makes me want to go out a plant some more seeds right now!
Wow! Everything looks so perfect! A beautiful garden, and great photos!
You make me want to start a vegetable garden too- instead of just my woodland garden. Your photos are beautiful- those leaves are so beautiful and sculptural...and edible too!
All all grown from seed! Super impressive!
Jojo is an excellent gardener! Beautiful veggies...
I love the photo of your daughter's hands holding the Swiss chard. (I like working with children outdoors.) Plus the lighting and composition your chose was great!
