Carmen Casado Illustrates How to Start a Garden for The Guardian

The Guardian's April How to Start column is about planting a vegetable garden. Carmen Casado's illustration hits news stands right as most of the Northern Hemisphere is asking the same question. Vegetables float against a blue sky, tools rest on coral soil, a worm curls by the trowel and in the upper corner a mouth bites a tomato. Arranged like step-by-step instructions but with the steps out of order, the illustration is a sensory sampling.
