We don’t get the four seasons here, but lately it feels like it should be spring. I had the urge to start new plants to go with the new year, and firstly, started my ginger experiment…

The tip of the first ginger shoot peeking out.

As you can see, that is now underway with the first ginger shoot breaking the earth. I expect the others to follow suit in the next week or so.

I also sowed some seeds, and those ready to debut now are:

Okra sprouts – I don’t know how many generations down from the seeds given by Grandpa Weed a few years ago.

Japanese cucumber sprouts. I saw the seeds being sold when I was last at the plant nursery and couldn’t resist, especially as they’re from the good seed company, Known You.

Finally, I’m growing the bush bean seeds I bought last year. They look like vigorous growers.

I can’t wait for the rest of the plants to show up, and to start planting these out when they’re big enough!
