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.
