Dirt all over the patio

Back from California and things are growing nicely. The cilantro sprouted and the peas are almost two inches tall. Yesterday and today I did a lot more work on the garden. I planted one big planter full of carrots. They are a small variety and I opted for some overcrowding and planted three rows. It worked alright last year to eat the tiny ones I pulled out to thin the ranks and let the others grow bigger. I also transplanted a lot of the sprouts. The one chamomile plant I transplanted took to the new pot right away, I'd say it grew half an inch overnight. I don't have the final pots for the tomatoes yet, but I moved them into tiny pots that are at least larger than the little pods they had been trying to grow in.

I think I found a strawberry sprout, but it's too soon to say whether that is a strawberry or a weed.

There aren't too many things left to transplant. Just the bell peppers, chamomile, and stage 2 on the tomatoes. I still have the nasturtium seeds to plant and a few more violas. Later in the spring I'll sow the seeds for basil and more cilantro. Right now I have an abundance of basil in the house, so I have time to kill.

I'll take some pictures of my productive porch in the next couple days and post them.
