Cinnamon tree!

We bought a cinnamon tree on Amazon.com from wellspring gardens.  It's pretty small for now, but hopefully some time with the cacao trees in the indoor greenhouse will help it out.

Outside the safe haven

We pulled out 2 cacao seedlings to see if they can survive in the much drier environment outside the little greenhouse.  Time will tell, but it would be nice to not have to baby these so much...

Big Cacao Leaves

The leaves are getting big now, probably over 4 inches on some plants.  What's strange is that they're all hanging down!

I hypothesize this is an adaptation to help them on a littered jungle floor to pull their leaves up through the brush before opening them on top.  Whether that's true or not, I think some of them are starting to angle their leaves out some, so they probably won't stay like this for long.

We're preparing another little greenhouse like this one so we can split the group up and give them more space.  They'll also need larger cups soon!

Tall seedlings

We're a bit worried about our super-tall tomato seedlings.  Hopefully they fill out a bit soon.

Also, we planted some Black Diamond watermelon seeds from Sustainable Seed Co today.
