Asparagus

Been really enjoying the music of Kentish folk artist Chris Wood recently, in particular his new album Handmade Life. With songs of quitting jobs, the joy of allotments and spitfires flying overhead, he conjours warm, summer days perfectly. The haunting and sparse song, Asparagus, first heard late at night on the eclectic Late Junction on radio 3, is my favourite, where Chris likens two asparagus shoots to snakes fighting in the soil.

Reminded me of Heather Gatley's recent work for Waitrose Essentials, with her beautiful illustrations in watercolour of simple fruit and vegetables.
