I Wasn't Kidding!

Here's part of my little veggie garden as of 7:00am this morning. All kinds of little plants popping up all over! We may get some veggies out of this garden yet! Below are some detail shots of the little guys making their way to the surface and beyond. (The seemingly empty row is where I planted carrot. There are a couple teeny tiny wispy sproutlet's, but I'm not sure yet if they are carrot, or if they are just weeds. I'll give them another week to see what they end up being)

Zucchini! Their leave are so thick and wide, I guess I never realized how HUGE their starter leaves are! These little plants are over 2 inches wide!

Squash! Slightly smaller than the zucchini, but just as glorious as they break their way through the surface!

Peas! I've put a little cedar trellis down to train my peas on, but I'm thinking this might not be the best solution for these little guys. They look so complex as they pop their little heads through the soil. They haven't opened any leaves yet, but the way they are all curled in on themselves looks pretty amazing.

Cucumber! These guys are still pretty small yet, but they are a beautiful dark green. Such pretty starter leaves!

Last night I did a quick till job between rows to keep the weeds down to a minimum. I'm considering using the Preen mulch for between rows, but need to do a little more research on it... I don't want it to effect the soil composition since this is a veggie garden and I don't want herbicides in contact with food! Not sure if we'll have kohlrabi or cabbage this year, since I managed to stop right in the middle of those 2 rows. Oops.

My sweet 100s tomato plant (far right at top of first picture) doesn't seem to have grown much to me, but it appears to be getting ready for it's first set of little yellow blooms already!

I also got my little baby clematis into the ground and I'm hoping they take off like a shot now that they are in dirt and touching a trellis to climb. They have been hanging out in the front porch with my other little seedlings until the threat of frost was over (which reminds me, should post a picture of my seedlings... Peppers aren't so little anymore!) and they just kind of stunted at 2 inches tall. I'm hoping that was because they had nothing to climb and less than stable roots. I think I'll take weekly pics on Friday mornings to keep track of all my little plants progress. :)
