winter garden


Experiment. They're always experiments. This tomato is only two weeks old, it is growing awfully fast, already reached the top of its little plastic greenhouse and will soon need to be moved. The chiles are popping up and taking right off, multiple secondary and third dairy leaves within the first week. It's like I'm a botanist over here. 


The thing that sprouted from the clay pot of death is cilantro. That would have been whole seed from the spice cabinet I smashed to halves. Only two sprouted. The pot is loaded with various seeds and the only sign of life. I'll put the cilantro on an omelet or something. 



Soon their little caps will have to come off, their little private greenhouses.
