I do most of my own printing at home, but sometimes it is fun to have a few favorite photos professionally printed onto kitchen tiles, blank books, or even postcards. I am not the world's greatest photographer, but with a nice 12 meg camera sometimes I get lucky. Then, too, I use a color postcard printing service when I want UV protection for my images. This is necessary for archive copies of my drawings and paintings. Some of the things that grow in my garden are also works of art.
Before eating them I try to take pictures. The best photos serve as reminders that even I can grow attractive edible stuff, even in a postage stamp sized yard.
This year the edible stars in my garden were lipstick peppers. They were fairly nondescript when they were green, but when ripe they turned the prettiest red and gathered a bit of heat. I run them through the wheatgrass juicer with a few leaves of Swiss Chard and chicory or whatever tasty green is ready to harvest. Then I freeze the spicy juice into cubes in an ice tray. After they are frozen, they are great for dropping into nice cold glass of V-8.
