I Haz Sproutz

Gardening Week One has completed, and here we have the shining star of my little project so far, the bean plants. They were very quick to sprout, and I soon realized that I didn't plant them deep enough into their containers and had to add some extra dirt. We live and learn. They are doing very well, and so far the cats seem uninterested. I hope it stays that way.

My basil, all three varieties of it (lemon, sweet, and Thai) are also doing quite well. Cilantro has also sprouted, though I suspect a cat has played with that as the two baby leaves are mysteriously on the dirt next to the sprout rather than on the sprout; you can kinda make that out in picture #3 here, which is as close up as I could take it and still have everything relatively visible. The catnip is also just, just starting to peek through.

Still no sign of the dill or chives I planted, but maybe they're just taking their time. The long-term forecast looks good for low, overnight temperatures, but I'm still going to wait at least another week before putting anything in the ground. I just don't trust the mountain climate enough at this point, and the last thing I want is all of my effort ruined by a late frost.
