If it isn't already obvious, my garden just isn't doing very well. I began my seedlings a couple weeks ago, thinking that since it was a relatively slow process, my plants would be hardy by the time the weather was nice enough for me to plant them. However, I think that I will have to try it again.

My seedlings had a really great start, tucked away in their greenhouse tray. The soil was moist, and the plants really thrived. Of course, my beans did the most growing, and were the cause of my removing the lid to the container. Those beans grew so high that I had no choice.

Well, in trying to keep the cats from chewing the tops off of the plants, DH put them on top of my kitchen cabinets. I figured that that would be fine. I would just have him bring them down for me so I could water them every couple of days. I bet you can guess what happened. Now, over half of my plants are dead. The only ones that really are thriving, just happen to be the beans. I do have some cucumber plants that seem to be doing alright, and maybe one tomato plant. However, the rest are either dead, or on their way. *pouts* Bummer. This really has me rethinking the garden thing. Maybe I should just keep my black thumb out of it and buy my veggies at the farmer's market this summer, eh? *sigh*

Trying to stay upbeat, I think that I am still going to try and prepare the ground, and begin again. This time I know that I have to be really careful about the soil drying out in my warm kitchen. If all else fails, I can just seed directly in the ground, and just pray that something other than weeds pop up. lol I'm not holding out a great deal of hope though. Maybe I should just try to grow grass in my yard??
