The garden was planted last weekend. We turned the soil again with more compost, made rows, and planted our seedlings along with some more mature plants that we purchased. The seedlings looked so substantial in their safe little indoor environment but they look so tiny out in the wide open space. I am looking forward to seeing if the seeds actually grow up into fruit producing plants. So far we have lost 4 cucumber plants, two pepper plants, two marigolds, and a zucchini plant to some animal. Our current suspect is a
starling, which are, apparently, really
destructive birds. At this point we have nets hovering over the plants in hopes of keeping what remains.
