All our plants were doing great in their greenhouse. Everything sprouted faster than expected and they were getting tall, until they seemed a little too tall. I think “leggy” is the proper term; they were getting leggy and some seemed to stop thriving. We thought they may be getting overcrowded so we moved them outside to give them space and fresh air. But they also got some cold weather. We covered them twice when the weatherman predicted near freezing temperatures, and they didn’t seem any worse off. However, they haven’t really begun to thrive again like we hoped they would. Most of the cucumber, watermelon, and tomatoes that were doing great have completely died. The box with the herbs is the only one that seems to be fine, although they’re still pretty small.

The beans were the only ones in the other box that kept getting bigger, so we planted a bunch more beans and they’re the best plants we’ve got!
Big garden box
Hopefully they’ll continue doing well. We planted a bunch more seeds of all our plants, but if they’re not coming up in the next week or two we may have to give up and go buy plants from the store.

In less than a week it has grown quite a bit. Thinking about the Chia commercials reminded me of another product that looked really great to me when I was younger: The Clapper! Looking it up on Amazon I’m glad to see that it now comes “with clap detection lights.” How frustrating it must have been to keep clapping and clapping without knowing if the Clapper was actually detecting your claps! Something as fancy as that might have to wait for my birthday.
