How Does Your Garden Grow?

Remember my visit from Steve Biggs, the Gardening Coach?  Read about it here.

Well, my seeds have been growing like crazy!  But I'm a little worried that some of them aren't going to survive the transplant from pot to garden.




ZUCCHINI:  The roots on these seedlings seem to be barely attached to the stem.  Not sure what's going on.




CUCUMBER:  These seem strong although some of the leaves are a little yellow.   Probably not getting enough light, as they are often covered by the zucchini leaves.




BASIL:  The pot on the left has had several seedlings selectively removed.  Perhaps the other two pots need the same treatment?  And how many basil plants does a girl actually need, I'd like to know.




EGGPLANT:  These seeds were planted the same day as the zucchini.  Could someone tell me why they are so spindly and pathetic?




PEPPERS:  I am totally proud of these seedlings.  They were all planted in the centre pot but Steve told me they would need to be transplanted once they had 4 leaves each.  So far, so good!  These babies are so strong I could sell them!....Hmmm, maybe a plan for some income next year....




PARSLEY:  Help!  These leaves are ready to harvest and they haven't even gone outdoors yet!




LEEKS:  More water is not helping these little guys.  More sun, maybe?  Or maybe they were supposed to be thinned out? 

 So even though we are supposedly a month into Spring, the downloading of the season seems to have stalled and may require a reboot.  My raised-bed garden is tilled and fertilized and I am just waiting for the sun to shine consistently and for the temperature to go into the teens (please!) so that I can get these seedlings out there.

I sure hope my kids like parsley....
