Update from the grow lights. The onions and shallots are a month old. I sowed 100 Little Bluestem, Prairie Dropseed, Orange Butterfly Milkweed, Coneflower, and Spotted Bee Balm. I sowed Cauliflower, Cabbage, and Broccoli. Finally, I sowed Wiri Wiri Peppers and placed them on a heat mat.

Chairman Meow, Bud Bud the Love Spud, Snoop Buddy Bro, is celebrating his 18th birthday today. He knows no stranger. He's convinced everyone in the world loves him as much as he loves them. We're so lucky to have spent 18 years being his people and we hope for his continued comfort and happiness.

I've reached the point in winter where I'm comfort-scrolling my phone to remind myself that other seasons exist. Two more months until Pawpaw, Moss Phlox, and Common Violets Bloom. Another few weeks after that, Golden Alexander will bloom.🌱 #nativeplants #gardening
