Ready, set, go!

Choggia beetroot, carrots and spinach beet all survived, even thrived over the mild winter, providing a traffic light of colours and food for the pot. The rain's here now, just in time after a dry month, but the accompanying high winds, which often seem to occur around equinoxes, would be damaging to any seedlings waiting to be planted outside. At this time of year there are never enough sunny window ledges and warm spots indoors to bring on seedlings and young plants.
