Soaked a variety of hot chili seeds in the water today. Will be planting them tomorrow. Our gardening season is almost hereโ€”time to start seeds every week. Babies will stay in the shade on the patio because itโ€™s too hot to be out in the direct sun yet. Too wet too.

Horntail worms demolished most of the chili plants in the garden. :( Few plants survived like this Thai chili plant. Hello chili babies.

Yo! Look at this. I experimented in this grow bag by planting a few seeds and cuttings. Almost everything is growing and Everglades tomatoes gatecrashed the party too. I will have to separate all of them into their own bags.

Before dinner, my daughter and I went out in the garden. I asked her to pick up anything that she wanted to eat. Kids eat by their eyes and then taste.

This is her selection - flowers and leaves, flowers, flowers, , , leaves, and (curry patta).

If all goes well, this raised bed will have a bunch of sunflowers, tinda squash, and a few more unnamed flowers. My moody gardening style is responsible for most surprises popping up regularly around the garden. Right now, it has and some onion bulbs.

I took a chickpea salad for the thanksgiving dinner. Dill, sissoo spinach, jalapeรฑos, nasturtium leaves, flowers of Caribbean sorrel from my garden. Chickpeas and tomatoes - store bought.

๐Ÿ˜ญ Found out why half of my white and black crop failed. Some of the biodegradable cells didn't degrade. Plants didn't get a chance to spread their roots and died struggling. I got a lot of greens but couldn't get enough beans. ๐Ÿ˜ž

Next time, once the seeds are sprouted, I am going to directly plant them in the raised bed. It was sad but I learned a valuable lesson.

I think four strawberry plants arenโ€™t enough. We need more.

This was last season. I am in love with sunflowers. Hopefully, I see some success this year too.

Zinnia plants are there too but not visible in the photo.
