woke up to a common miracle this morning. 5 days after they were planted these little broccoli seedlings reached out of the soil and into the sunlight.
I really can't explain how happy this made me.
there were a whole bunch of seedlings pushed through on the same day and it's incredible to see the different paths they all took to the same destination.
this picture is from a cluster of three seeds that somehow all survived. most pods have only one seedling in them (but they might be joined by their slower siblings very soon for all I know).
broccoli is the only seedling that's made it above ground so far but hopefully that bodes well for the other crops.
