Survived the storm

Spinach sown 12/15 (25 days ago)
Kale, 25 days old
Beets, also 25 days old

My efforts to protect my new seedlings paid off: zero rain damage.
It's interesting how much slower everything is in winter. Emergence and growing is taking at least 2x as long. Vegetables are retarded in winter.


Twice now we've had an eruption of ants around this pothos. An 11 year old house plant deserves at least a bit of effort to save, and save I did: depotted, submerged root ball in a home made batch of insecticidal soap, cleaned pot, broke up bound roots and repotted with fresh soil. Fingers cross.
