6th Week of my Garden

I am still observing my garden, and wondering whether or not increasing day lengths  in a couple of months are going to improve its performance.   Some of the seedlings are taller than a week ago.  Watering seems to help a little.   Fertilizer  may have helped a little.  Some seedlings are a bit greener and taller than a week ago.    I am planning to gradually improve the soil by adding potting mix, topsoil and mulch as a long term project.   In the short term I am just watching.

The sorrel, not available in stores, is nowhere, and I think that will not succeed.  Chives and onions from seeds are doing very poorly.  I am not sure about oregano and marjoram because some herbs grew very slowly last year.  Everything else is not doing what I had expected.

This attempt of mine shows that putting seeds in the lead free ground is not enough to grow a kitchen garden.  I had expected it to grow better.
