grow, plants, grow

It hasn't rained for days so I was afraid the plants would be thirsty.  Pete and I visited the garden to take a look at our plants.

The petunias still looked like how it was yesterday.  The ones in the middle look like they are growing well, while the rest still look a bit shrivelled up.

The squash plants were also a hit and miss affair.  Some look like they are establishing themselves well.  But others have not looked like they have taken root.  It's been only a day since I planted them so I know I should let them do their thing.  Anyway, it's our first time growing vegetables.  I'm sure we will learn from both success and failures, though I am praying for success, of course.



The potatoes and onions are still not showing any activity.  It will take a while so I must remember to be patient.  In the meantime, I'll weed, till and water my garden, ready to plant more stuff.

While weeding, I found a plant which looks like either spring onions or garlic growing by the edge of my potato bed.  There are 2 tiny purple buds growing at its tip.  I was going to pull it out but I've decided to let it grow a bit and then pull it out to see what comes out of it.  Let's hope it's something edible :)
