My Vegetable Garden Journal: One Month

It’s been about one month since I planted our first vegetable garden, and things are really starting to take off! My radishes has sprouted and are growing feverishly. The lettuce is also doing remarkably well, as is the broccoli and a few of the cabbage plants. Cauliflower seems to be struggling a bit, and a few cabbages have already given up on life. This past month I think we’ve had maybe 3 or 4 true sunny days. Every other day has been overcast or raining (think monsoon type weather!) so I am pleased how the vegetables are doing all things considered!

I planted the garden on a sloped portion of the yard, so despite the terrible rain, it managed to drain fairly well.
