What's cooking in the greenhouse -8

A cozy 16 degrees Celsius inside the mini greenhouse. It was a scorching 30 last week with the surprise appearance of the blazing sun in early March.

The thyme is loving the temperature. They're a little leggy but getting bushier each day.

The overwintering mesclun seedlings are taking their lovely time to grow.

One month old spinach seedlings are also taking a while to mature.

Munchkin broccoli. What a cute name for a what I hope to be tiny, adorable broccoli.

Carrot peeping out of the soil. Hi, there!

After a rather slow start in February, the green tips are now growing like mad :D
I added a few more shallots to the pot this afternoon.

Seedlings

Repotted globe basil for Michelle. The sweet basil seedlings are one month old.

Thyme for Bunbun, approximately one month old. I read somewhere that this herb "repels" rabbits, so I'm left wondering if Bunbun is an anomaly because he loooves this stuff. He will beg for hours just to get one sprig.

Sweet pepper for myself. Also one month old. Will this seed from a store-bought pepper grow and bear fruit? We'll find out soon enough!

Two overwintering mesclun seedlings have popped out of the soil. It's been above 0 during the day lately and an average of +5 behind the screen doors, so it's no wonder plants are starting to appear.

Two week old Bloomsdale spinach *raises fist* I will conquer you this time!

On my windowsill

The sticky note attached to the side of the container indicates it contains 4 basil, 2 mesclun, and 6 thyme seedlings. Only the lettuce isn't doing too well, which isn't a surprise considering how they're not indoor plants

Tiny thyme seedlings don't want to talk to me.

Neither do the mesclun seedlings.

Poor, neglected thyme

It's still good, it's still good!
I can't believe this three year old pot of thyme is still alive and doing well despite the extreme neglect it doesn't deserve. Look, it's still relatively green

Surprise, I'm here!

Look what I found: a baby marigold flourishing outside the vegetable patch. It's now one with the lawn

Discovered a few sprigs of thyme growing in between the rose bushes

Here's a baby strawberry very much alive underneath a canopy of fallen rose petals and leaves
