March 20, the official first day of Spring, fell on a Green Chillis day! We ventured out to the garden to see if anything was springing yet...
Pretty sure this didn't grow here! One young Chilli discovered a drink token from the VFW Post; afraid it will be some time before she can use it...
On March 27, the brassicas we started two weeks ago had mostly emerged - their glossy seed leaves looking, as one Chilli observed, like tiny butterflies. Inevitably, some cells had more than one seedling vying for success, so we thinned them out to allow the strongest one to thrive. The thinnings didn't go to waste, though - we gobbled them up! Delicious.
We also planted lots more seeds, including a flat of radishes for tangy microgreens, and re-potted an avocado tree that I started from seed a few years ago. It's now nearly as tall as our littlest Chilli!
