New Planting

I've done some planting at my parents' home in Florida. On April 30th I put some mint, oregano, cilantro and basil seeds into peat trays and covered them with plastic wrap. outside temperatures have peaked at about 90 each day since then. The soil under the plastic gets even hotter so I'm careful to vent the the covering. I must have done something right because the basil and oregano germinated after just a few a days under those conditions. Hopefully, the mint won't be too long now and then it'll be mojito time for everyone.

The weather in MD is still abysmal, I'm told. I'm anxious to get back and see what days of chilly weather and nonstop rain has done to my transplants. Yikes.
