Ok, now for a little update. I took these pictures yesterday but never uploaded them because I got lazy. But here they are. I didn't take pics
of everything this time. Got lazy on that too. lol. Here goes.
I started all the veggies on some miracle grow plant food. When I looked at the bottle it said it was 12-4-8. For some reason that doesn't look right. I need to buy something different. All Home Depot sells is fucking MG. Its annoying.
Great Northern beans: only about 2 more to come up!!! They are all looking great and very green. (I can tell because the ground will have cracks right where the bean is ready to come up)
Peanuts: The older peanut is still putting on new leaves, but the older leaves seem to be scorched. Dunno why, but they will be fine. The smaller peanut is the one in the picture I posted. Wanted to show off the new leaves.
Cukes: Still growing, but could be doing better. Sadly, the three in the picture all won't survive. I am gonna look at which one looks the healthiest, and pull the weaker two sometime next week. After that, the stronger one should take off since it will no longer be sharing water and soil with two other seedlings.
Onions: The ones I started from seeds are doing ok. I say ok because they aren't dying, but I wish they would grow a lot faster.
Squash: The squash are the biggest plants out there besides the eggplant. They are thriving!!!
Jalapenos: Are FINALLY starting on their second set of leaves. They're tiny. I circled them in the pic. They look very healthy and bright green.
Corn: Like I said, I killed two, and just as those were gone, 3 I previously planted came up and are almost as big as the ones I killed!!! Still waiting for the others I just planted to come up.
Scarlett Runner Beans: I got a pic of the one that got robbed for a leaf.
The others are doing well though. Did I tell you about a week ago, I pulled a bean out and it was growing INTO the ground instead of up?! lol. So gently pulled him up and he is nice and green from finally getting some sunlight instead of growing under the dirt. lol.
Pumpkin: two words.....doing great.
Gourds do really good up here for some reason.
Cantaloupe & watermelon: Cants and melons are all steadily getting new leaves. I need to really start working on the additional garden space so I can transplant them already.
Honeydew:This was a seedling I bought from that plant sale at the college. I thought it was dying, but it has a new leaf. I'm thinking its just acting weird because it needs to go in a bigger pot already. Need to do that asap.
Eggplant: I transplanted this little buddy I think what was yesterday. Can't really remember. Its responding well. I just noticed 2 days ago that when I first bought it, it only had 2 big leaves. Now it has 4!!! Why didn't I notice it. I think its because I'm out there all day starting at them. lmao.
Can't wait for this to grow out. My grandma makes the best eggplant parmesan.
Bell Pepper: I also bought this little buddy from the plant sale. I transplanted him today before heading off to school. It was still perfectly
fine when I came home.
Tomatoes: doing better than I thought they would be at this point. The one that was eaten up is growing back wonderfully. Greener than when I got him from the plant sale.
Tomatoes (2): These ones are the ones I planted by seed, some are starting on their second leaf set. =)
Still teeny tiny little things they are....
Funny thing is, I don't eat raw tomatoes. But I love what you can create from them..... spaghetti, chilaquiles, ketchup, salsa, pico de gallo and so much more!!!
I hope I'm not forgetting anything. lol. Well here are some pics.

I think I will post pics of the weed too. I put the one with the 3 inch taproot outside today, the heat didn't even
phase it!!! =)
Can someone tell me why it seems that weed grows faster than most other plants besides seaweed?
lol (seaweed can grow up to a foot a day for those who didn't know)
