Spring planting

Llew decided to plant some herbs. It is time now that the last frost is over. He decided to get a mini greenhouse to plant basil, thyme, chives and parsley.
The box comes with pellets in it that you add water to and expand to about 3cm high. Then you just put the seeds on top. It is covered with a plastic cover and put in a warm spot.
A week later and ta-da!
Basil,
and chives. The others are starting too.
Now we have to put them in pots and sooner or later put them outside. Of course there is one thing that we have to keep in mind. Chipmunks. They have been getting in the walls as I said, so I told management. They have now laid bait. We only wanted them out of the walls, not dead! Apparently chipmunks are a big problem and many tips are given for how to get rid of them. Some are a bit drastic!
