The rain around here has been simply ideal for the early plants. The difference from ten days ago is stunning.



Carrots await thinning.



Basil starts up. Even at this point, if you pull a leaf and crush it in your hand, it smells like basil.



That pepper! And cool: in the background, lower right, you can see how easy it is to grow herbs. It's dill, in an area previously planted with dill... and then completely dug out and had 5 inches of rich soil dumped on top of it. Another patch of dill has been started, but this hardy single survivor is a testament. Can't kill dill!



Tomatoes are coming out, and the vines will be staked tomorrow.



And the sunflowers, which seemed to wimpy to survive, all pretty much did survive and have developed secondary leaves.
