Following a few gorgeous days of snowfall, the Green Chillis met today to check the progress of the seeds we started (quite a few up now!), discuss plant propagation (we made cuttings of spider plants and Tahitian bridal veil), and remove the seeds from the dried sunflower heads we saved from last season. Then came the most important task of the day: taking advantage of the snow by going out and playing in it! Our first attempt at a giant snowman quickly morphed into a giant snow ant, because the snowballs were so huge and heavy we couldn't get one on top of another. Then we made a snowcreature/bug to stand guard over the garden (it has six arms, four eyes, two antennae, and a proboscis, and stands about seven feet tall. Classify that if you will). What fun!
