Seedlings, currently<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, I started more seedlings: Sweet Italian basil, Thai basil, and flowers (gomphrena, strawflower and two types of sweet alyssum). Together, they are taking up almost an entire flat of six-packs. I covered the flat with a lid and placed it on a heat mat. Fingers crossed. In two or three weeks, I will start tomatoes and Swiss chard. The kale and Thai peppers I sowed a couple of weeks ago sprouted nicely, 6\/6 for the kale and 5\/6 for the Thai pepper, which is not bad considering that the pepper seeds were from 2023. I also just spotted my first ginger shoots, yay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
