Week 1: Progress

One sugar baby watermelon plant died this week. It's OK. I thought that one was going to die anyway. I think all of the watermelon transplants may have some sort of disease on them. There were two spots free in the watermelon square foot, so I just added some seeds that I had saved from a watermelon I ate a few weeks ago. We'll see what happens.

It rained yesterday and today. What's amazing is that the plants seemed to respond immediately after the rain. So far, the corn, pumpkin, cantaloupe, green beans, okra, and marigolds have all sprouted. No basil, tomatoes, carrots, rosemary, cilantro, onions, or jalapenos yet.
