the garden saga continues
Well, seedlings were ultimately a fail. I emergency planted them the night before we left on the cruise and though I tested the drips then, the system wasn't stable over two weeks and the cucumbers (which I hear are fickle anyway), the eggplants, the chiles, the cilantro & parsley... they didn't make it. They weren't properly hardened anyway, so I guess I'm not surprised or that disappointed.
Some things I started from seed have lived! I wouldn't say they're thriving, but alive! Some flowers and about 12 each of beets and carrots. Exciting! Also I left my basil, thyme, and another potted chile plant with my friend (haven't seen them yet, but I assume they lived).
Yesterday we made a trip to the nursery to replace the cucumbers anyway. We came home with cucumbers, tomatoes, two kinds of chiles, dill, cilantro, mint, mustard greens, oregano. Then found an entire packet of drip heads we'd bought were defective after we'd set up everything for them. UGH.
So for today, the garden looks full and happy! We'll see what tomorrow brings.
