May 26th

fifteen days ago i planted several seeds

the expected germination period of the zucchini, squash and peas were 10-14 days.

i watered the garden daily and spent a good amount of time trying to coax the plants out of the ground

i also purchased some plants that were already started

tomatoes, peppers and cantaloupes

as well as parsley, basil and peppermint

the following weekend i planted carrot and scallion seeds in the remaining free space in the garden

there were no signs of life for about 12 days

but then this weekend...sure enough, up they came. just as the packages had promised.
