A LARGE garden

I really enjoying gardening (although it's been quite awhile since I've actually done it), and especially loved it as a child. Molly (above) is shocked by the garden she's tending that has become more impressive than she dreamed possible. The illo was my last contribution to Stories for Children. It was fun to do, although if I were to repaint it, I'd definitely make the watering can silver. I was thinking pink would add color, but I seemed to have forgotten that I was making a lot of other things pink . . .

This is so cute, I hope she wont get lost between the vegetables!

It's not always easy to choose the right colors isn't it! Silver would work to for the watering can but I guess she is one of those girls that just need to have everything in pink! ;)

This could be a page out of a children's book. How lovely.
