Even though Noah's been insisting on counting them everyday, there's still something special about our official days to count and graph our tomatoes. We're up to 35 - still all green. In the coming days, we'll also be updating our garden pie chart since we've added a number of new plants.Noah is truly hooked on gardening! At the farmer's market yesterday, he talked me into a banana pepper plant and got Grandma to buy him a Gerber daisy. We planted them yesterday, along with my new cucumber plant and the seedlings from the Earth Day festival.
Apparently I don't do well with seedlings, because less than 24 hours later, they show few signs of life. Sigh. Perhaps this is a sign that I'm taking on too much and should stop while I'm ahead. After all, the goal of this growing season was to keep a select few plants alive and let the success encourage me to do it again - next time (rather than right now). I think I will try to nurse them back to health, then refocus Noah on planning our summer garden. As long as he can plant something, he'll be happy!
