My second time making chapines and I think they came out pretty good. Only time will tell. Let's see what sprouts! A #chapín is the way we germinate #seed (and sometimes #cuttings) in the #chinampa.
Chapines were invented along with other chinampa practices by the #Xochimilca well before the arrival of the Spanish and even the Mexica. Basically you dredge mud from the canal and dump it into a depression in the earth. The next day you cut it into squares, make dimples with your fingers, drop seeds, abd cover with dirt and manure.
