Some of the mesclun mix.
This parsley was flooded yesterday.
For the most part, the flooding at the edge of the garden did not seem to hurt. Those little dots are the slow release fertilizer that I had added to improve the soil.

Garden After the Seventh Week After Planting
Thankfully, it rained today!
I will watch what the extra post-rain water does.
Radishes 7th week after planting.
The lettuce is doing a little better.
Mesclun mix may produce results.
A poor injured anole after the rain.
I think minor factors in the growth of my garden were moisture and fertilizer levels. Now I think that the most major factor may be sunlight, and sunlight timing. Time will tell
6th Week of my Garden
Garden at end of 6th week
Baby radishes
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.
