Sunny 27°C / 81°FAll of the plantings are doing well. I had to re-sow the Italian basil because it looks like some sneaky birds got to all but one of the seedlings, but the new seeds have germinated.

Not to mention that I have to carry water out from the kitchen to actually water everything, since we do no...

We’ve had about 5 straight days of rain and the plants are drinking it up. Only thing is, there are about 5 snails per square yard of surfaces outside. So many!

The seedlings got their first dose of the outdoors yesterday. They won’t be going out tonight with the severe weather reports coming out, but I hope to get them hardened by mid May for transplanting!
