Week 2

The lettuce seeds are all sprouting, even with the high winds and bunny disruptions.  The carrots have not sprouted yet.  The bunnies ate my only cherry tomato seedling, but left a few leaves, so I have caged it and am hoping for the best.  I am still planning to plant some melon and watermelon seedlings, but I don't think they will be available for a couple of weeks.

Although I previously harvested my own seedlings, they were so weak that they did not survive the transplant.  I also had trouble keeping them warm but moist as they were growing before transplant.  So I gave up and started purchasing the seedlings locally.

We live in Conejo Valley, which means Rabbit Valley, so the bunnies are an expected problem.  My fence is coming along very well, thanks to my husband, but still not completed.  I have high hopes for exclusion of the conejo's with this fence, but I am worried they will be crafty and figure out how to get under or around it.

I hope that my link to my photos gives a good indication of the size and design of the garden.  I will continue to diary the growth with photos, but can't seem to post images here, only links.
