It never ceases to amaze me how quickly plants can progress in a matter of hours. I did a progress update on my eggplant this morning, at 9:16am, and it was pretty much still straight soil. Went back out there at 5:47pm, and there are a ton of little sprouts now! 🤯

So far, so good! Also planted jalapeño and cilantro from seed. I’m hoping to see some activity on those soon!
