We've got sprouting happening here!
The broccoli and cauliflower seeds are busting out and reaching for the light.
We sowed these seeds, along with a tray of walla walla onions on Feb 12. No signs of life from the onion tray yet, they can take up to 2 weeks to germinate.
I've had some great help from my little boy Ash.
Here he is helping me mix up some seed starting mix with some worm castings.
These two worms were tied in knots! My guess is that they were mating, and got a little carried away? When worms mate they align their bodies and exchange sperm, then each of them excretes a "cocoon" that 1-20 baby worms hatch from.
They came apart okay after I distrubed them... Sorry!
The calendula is sprouting, though a few seedlings succumbed to "damping off", no biggie, I'll plant more!

We also sowed a flat of asparagus and a flat of leeks, first time growing either of these so please drop any tips in the comments! I know I won't have asparagus to eat for about three years...
We're having fun! And there's so much more to sow :) I'm really glad my excitement about gardening is spreading to my wee one.
Dirty little hands, just as they should be <3
