2022
5th edition of the Planting Guide Calendar
2023 Calendar Series
I started planning this new calendar version in April 2022, the paintings started in May and finished at the start of September. When I first started the Planting Guide calendar back in 2018, I didn't think about how I wanted to present the artwork. The idea was that every vegetable, herb or fruit would be painted and pictured on the relevant month. This worked well for the first few years, there was of course a limitation as to how much you can do with the same illustrations year after year.
The 2023 calendar had a vastly different design and required a completely new set of illustrations. Rather than the 100+ that the other calendars contained, this version has only 55 different illustrations. Each page is unique and only November shows any repetition of artwork.
