My Garden is Growing!

I can't believe it, my garden is actually growing!!! Mike was the first to notice it, I hadn't even bothered to go check it out when we got home, I didn't think anything would grow this quickly. Last Monday right after I planted the seeds it was torrential rain all day. I thought for sure the seeds would get washed away. The rain didn't stop for the rest of the week either, all last week it was gray and rainy. I had almost assumed my seeds wouldn't even make it. And then this weekend it was blistering hot, so it went from rain and no sun to obscenely hot, which didn't seem like good growing weather to me.

I got so excited when I went outside and saw the progress the seeds had made in just a week, one short little week. It made me so happy to see they were growing so quickly, that you could see legitimate progress. Here's the plants progress so far, from what I think they are:
 Believe these are my cucumbers because there are only a couple seeds I planted. I have to plant more seeds on the other half of the pot tonight
 I think this would be the scallions/green onions I planted, and there was either parsley or oregano in the middle of them
These are the tomatoes, although not sure which is which at this point, 
one is roma, one is beefsteak
 I think this should be the basil and either oregano or parsley is in the middle, I can't remember which one I put with what - opps! 
 And I'm pretty sure this is the zucchini/squash pot I planted, which now looks like way too much. I meant to plant them separately but I got carried away, my bad!
This one has not really grown much yet, but maybe soon, looks like it is starting to peak through. If the other one is the zucchini, I think I put the peppers and eggplant in this one, but I'm not sure it will be enough room, maybe I will have to move them, I have no idea! 
Stay tuned for more progress! I still have two more planters to plant seeds in, Mike said he would help me drill the holes in them tonight so I can plant.

  2. Melissa, trust me, I have NO gardening skills at all, this was pure luck! I'm looking at it as an experiment, hopefully it will be a successful one. You should totally plant one, there's still plenty of time for this summer!
