Garden Update - Weeks 1 & 2

We're going into week 3 of the Vegetable Garden Project and so far, so good! Here are some photos of the progress so far.

Week 1 (4.14.09): Corn Sprouts!
You can hardly see it, but those are itty bitty corn sprouts. At this point it had been just over 7 days.

Week 2 (4.19.09): Bean & Corn Sprouts
The corn is up! It's one week later and we have full seedlings (on the left). Also, you can tell Jef planted those - there are exactly two seedlings per square and they are lined up in little rows. They'll probably survive and everything. The beans are on the right and went from nothing to full size plants in one week. I shouldn't be surprised - in elementary school, I did a science project w/ bean sprouts because they grew so fast, but still, it's amazing to watch.

Week 2 (4.19.09): Scallions

Me: OMG, look at all the scallion sprouts! Jef: Did you actually PLANT the seeds, or did you just take a handful and throw them into the soil? Me: ... Jef: That's what I thought.

(For the record, I've since thinned the scallion seedlings and they're looking great).
