No garden walk, sorry!!

I know that today was supposed to be the day I did the garden walk. But I will have to do it another day.

The entire house has a virus. And we are gross, oozing, and barely mobile.

On top of that, it has been raining consistently for three days now.

So, garden news: Zenny's cucumber plant was transplanted into a computer part container. It was beginning to get rootbound, and one of the leaves was starting to yellow at the tip. While we were transplanting, we learned the cucumber roots smell like cucumber. (It was very exciting for Zenny)

**On that note, almost all of our plants are showing the same sign as the rootbound cucumber. When the first true leaf has grown, the cotyledons start to pale and yellow. It makes me worry that I am going something wrong. They all look healthy and fine until it gets the true leaves. The true leaves seem to be darker though, so I was thinking that maybe they fall off eventually. I will have to ask**

Today, we planted the chives (regular and garlic), echinacea, and thyme. On the calendar it says that a lot of things should have been done by now. Beds should be built, lined and filled, and our spring greens should have been sown outside. I have had to adjust a little to things not being exactly the way I would design them to happen. And that is another life lesson the garden is giving me. It won't hurt to plant things out a little later than expected. One of the two tomato plants I set out for a couple hours (like 3) died. I think of damping off. I will wait until they are bigger before I try that again.

Also, I think rather than starting all the seedlings in egg cartons, I may start more out in plastic yogurt containers (which fit perfectly in the windowsill). Plus I like those yogurts better than in the packs that you have to snap apart.

I just worry about stuff. It seems like I kill off as much or more than I successfully grow. We will just have to see, and learn, and revise, and do it again.

Garden walk will be posted soon, with pictures!!
