How are you going to know what day it is or ‘market’ yourself towards better health through plants??

A 2016 fruit or veg calendar!

That’s what I’m doing anyway. I looked over at my lovely Vibrantly Grown calendar from this year and realized I only have less than 48 hours until 2016 without a new wall calendar in the wings.

I can’t find a 2016 Vibrantly Grown so I’m checking out all of the other veg options. Happy coincidence there are plenty of choices!

Seven to be exact.

Gorgeous vibrant photos. Inspiring me to reach for what grows from the earth. I love the dirt clinging to the beetroot.

Bunches of vibrantly colored beets just pulled from the ground. Harbingers of spring: garlic scapes and fiddlehead ferns. And plump melons ready for harvest—you can almost smell their sweetness. For gardeners and for anyone passionate about eating local and eating well, Heirloom Harvest is a feast for the eyes and the imagination.

3. Fruit Crate Labels

This Smithosonian calendar reminds me of the dish towels I inherited from my Great-Grandma Grace. A historical look at how we’ve perceived and portrayed fruit. And what look to be beautiful color images.

Description: At the end of the 19th century, refrigerated railroad cars made long distance shipping of perishable produce possible. Labels were created so shippers and merchants could easily identify the contents of the crates. They also helped create brand recognition. These vibrant and colorful paper labels became lively mobile advertisements and they featured a wide range of designs. The art drew on a wide range of popular subjects idyllic scenes, women, animals, and patriotic symbols in order to entice people to buy fruit. In the late 1950’s use of labels ended as pre-printed boxes replaced the older wooden crates. Today, these labels are highly sought after by collectors. Fruit Crate Labels 2016 features a selection from the extensive collections at the Smithsonian. Each beautiful label is accompanied by information and a large grid with moon phases and international holidays. The calendar includes a 3-year at-a-glance page and is earth friendly, printed with soya-based inks on FSC certified paper. A popular calendar for anyone who likes vintage art. Great for saving and framing. • Product dimensions: 12.2 x 12.2 x 0.3 inches
