Garden Complete!

Another month has flown by!  I am so excited to have our plants and seeds in the ground.  Now we just need to keep these things alive!

We used twine attached to nails to separate the garden into square feet and popsicle sticks to indicate what plant is in each square.  This was a good idea because I've already forgotten which seeds we planted where.  One concern is the amount of sun the garden gets.  We decided on the location of the garden when the trees were still without leaves so there is a lot more shade now.  But at this point, it is just the way it is and we will see what grows.

Here is a list of everything we planted (everything was a transplant unless specified) :  tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, golden bell peppers, jalapenos, mint, strawberries, radishes (seed), basil, marigolds, beans, thai basil, melon (seed), dill, cucumber (seed), arugula, eggplant (seed), squash (seed).
 So, we planted them YESTERDAY and our basil already has something funky going on!  Anyone???
