Phenomenal cosmic power, itty bitty living space edition

We've got thirty, maybe forty pots looking like this, with true leaves starting to appear on a bunch of the starts - only a few of the pots have any duplicate plantings. There's two pots of chamomile (pictured) and a few other herbs like sage and lavender.

We're also growing wheat for the first time, which is pretty exciting. I've done up a few dozen plugs for the bird yard, which will be fenced this first year to protect them til they go to seed, and have a row in the vegetable patch that I'm thinking of using for seed saving purposes. If anyone's grown grains before I'm interested to hear your wisdom.

What's growing on with you all?

I've only grown grain for my cats......rye is an excellent catgrass.

I've got our lettuces, onions, and various cole crops started and planted!

I need to get started on the rest of what I'll be growing this year.....I haven't gotten any garlic or potatoes started, ehh.....

I've got some potatoes ready for planting but the overnight temps are still in the turn-potatoes-to-mush territory so I haven't made moves on those yet. You've got time!
