Chamomile and Radish Seeds

 

Chamomile and radish seeds  planted and painted! What a beautiful day to spend outside!  In addition to these seeds, I also planted 5 or 6 of the new seed varieties I bought from the Experimental Farm Network.  They are all perennial vegetables which can be winter sown, and I'm so excited to watch their progress in the coming months.  I'm marking everything I plant, because it is so easy to lose track with the sheer volume of gardening that I do!  60's today and maybe snow this weekend, so I'm making hay while the sun shines!  Painting number 4794 in 4794 days. 

German Chamomile

 

After a crazy busy family day, I'm painting the German chamomile growing hydroponically tonight well after dark.  Just last month, these plants were bursting forth in a sheltered area near my herb garden.  I took two cuttings to try inside, because the blooms on this variety are very large and delicious.  They rooted well and this one is already in vigorous bloom!  The ferny foliage is also beautiful and tastes delicious in my salads.  So, I'm adding this beauty to my nature journal to chronicle it's transition to my indoor garden.  Painting number 4766 in 4766 days.
