Garden Update

I guess it's good I've been too busy to worry much about it because growing a garden mostly from seed is a slow process and not ideal for someone as impatient as I am. It IS good for the pocketbook though seeing as the seeds are so much cheaper than starts (although I did buy a few 4 inch starts when they were on sale a few weeks ago). Without further ado, here's the garden update.

And now for the crop-by-crop update. Remember (from my original garden post) that the flags indicate where I planted seeds. Also please note that where I say how many seeds I planted, that actually represents how many pinches of seeds I planted in most cases. So for this first one, I didn't literally plant 2 seeds, I have 2 holes where I dropped a few seeds in.

PARSLEY (1 start, 2 seeds)


CILANTRO (1 start, 5 seeds)


CHIVES (4 seeds)


BELL PEPPERS (4 starts)


HOT PEPPERS (4 seeds) - I'm going to replace this section with something else, these have failed.


PEAS (6 seeds) - Major success here!! We'll build the necessary climbing structure for them once they get a little bigger.


ZUCCHINI (2 starts)


CANTALOUPE (4 seeds) - I'm shocked these are growing and really curious whether or not they'll survive


GRAPE TOMATOES (2 starts, 2 seeds) - The seeds didn't take but I didn't really think planting grape tomatoes from the fridge was going to work.


BUNCHING ONIONS (8 seeds) - These seem to be doing well


RADISH (6 seeds) - I'm so thrilled at how well these are doing.


CARROTS (10 seeds?) - These too seem to be doing alright.


LETTUCE (4 seeds) - We're going to plant the whole row with lettuce so it comes ready at different times (not to self, get on that).


BASIL (1 start, 3 seeds) - I sure wish this was coming in better, we could eat a lot of basil if we had it.

Do you have any tips for this first time veggie grower?

Thank you for reading,
