Happy Friday! We’re getting some sunshine here in Menlo Park after a pretty big rainstorm over the past few days.

I always worry about my baby seeds germinating, but this time I was especially concerned. Would all those sweeties I sowed for the Japanese spring garden get washed away? How would they ever anchor themselves with a little root? Would this wind and rain just be way too much for them?

Good news:

Tatsoi

I peaked under the floating row cover this morning, and voila — they’ve peeked their little faces out to see the sun. They’re so magical. Welcome to the world!
