Unfortunately, while a very sunny day, it was also a windy day and I think they got more flat than hard.
One of my tomato plants keeled over. Literally! The second one's leaves shriveled up and looks quite sickly. The third one is (hopefully?) making a comeback after coming back inside and getting a nice drink of water. I had only planned to plant one tomato "square" anyway, but was feeling very impressed with myself that the tomatoes were looking so great.
The cilantro has also made a comeback and is standing proud once more.
Can't say the same for the rest...
It was a nice day out so I decided to transplant our oregano plant from the old garden to the new. It has quite the root system! I had to dig about a foot deep into the garden to make a deep enough hole. This plant is a faithful herb that has grown and flourished for about three years. Actually, it's only half of what it was when we made the raised bed. We split it in half and gave one to our neighbor and temporarily replanted the other half in the original garden area.
Here's a view of the whole garden:
We have some little sprouts popping up all over. Not sure what they are, but am suspecting maybe alfalfa (from the alpaca poop?):
May 10th is the magic date I've been waiting for to plant the rest of my veggies! Am so excited and hoping for a good crop and learning experience.
