I don't like to complain, BUT...it feels like August. Humid and 92 and I am melt-ing.
And yet I carry on with my gardening as a good gardener should. Every morning and every evening, you will find me up at my small plot of land, doing extensive weeding. I exaggerate. It takes maybe two minutes. But I like to act as though I am doing a whole lot more than what I am.
Even though *I* am unhappy with all this heat and humidity, the veggies are thriving!
(the garden just a couple of hours ago...)
Snowpeas (from seeds!), cukes and green peppers...
Cukes...
Watermelon (From seeds!)...
Basil (from seeds!)...
Red Onion (from bulbs or whatever you call them!)...
Can you tell I haven't planted 'from seed' before?
Mmmmm...I can almost taste the salads that shall be made!

It is amazing how quickly the garden can turn around. I've been watering religiously because I don't want to chance losing anything! I see you're doing "square foot" gardening...that's the only way to go!
You may need to thin some of those seedlings - especially the basil ones. It hurts to nip those tender leaves off...but it will help the plant in the long run. See what your seed packet says - and don't pay too much attention to the rows...but the distance between plants. If it says 3 inches between plants, just make sure there are 3 inches between plants.
I thinned the basil yesterday and it WAS painful to do it...but I am sure it will be better for them. Thanks for the advice!
