Cabbage seedlings a couple weeks after sowing.
Snow is on the ground (finally!), but on the windowsills of the Chillicothe Public Library seedlings are pushing their way up through soil and reaching their little green hands (or, more accurately, cotyledons) to the light.
The Green Chillis kicked off our third growing season last week, spreading some green love on Valentine's Day by planting a multitude of seeds, which we hope will grow into sturdy plants that will provide food and beauty for many months to come. The first sprouts popped up this week - our cabbage leading the way, and now joined by tiny calendula, thyme, marigolds, bachelor's buttons, and more! Stop by and take a look at our babies.
The seeds we are planting this year are from generous donations we received in 2011 from Picket Fence in Chillicothe, the Herman's Garden program through the Seed Savers Exchange, and the America the Beautiful Fund. We will also be growing some plants from seeds we saved last year!
