No stinkin’ polar vortex stops The Germinatrix ©™!
Today I started four kinds of pepper seeds indoors under lamps, and cold stratification (chill in fridge) of three kinds of native prairie milkweed seeds (for butterflies, etc.). In two weeks I’ll start my eggplant and Brassica (cabbage family) seeds and other native flowers, and so on, until it’s time to direct sow outdoors.
Meanwhile as able, I’ll work on prepping garden beds with appropriate amendments like the compost I’ve been building all year, leaf humus, topsoil, etc. Winter shminter.
In other news, my new mini-bench is ready for action, Misu is lazily luxuriating, and misc. kitchen scraps are sending up shoots.
