Someone left the seeds out in the rain….

…and I don’t think I can take it, ’cause it too so long to rake it, and I’ll never have the energy again… (You are supposed to sing that to MacArthur Park, for those of you who are old enough to remember the song, and sing it with great drama, please!)

Yes, I left my seeds out in the rain, though only 4 kinds of beets, 2 kinds of carrots, arugula, spinach, rainbow orach, red orach, and a few other random things. I don’t think I can dry them out, because they are pretty soaked, so I am going to put them where the tomatoes or basil where going to go, and just keep those things going in pots until there space becomes available.

I had already sown the aforementioned seeds. Maybe I had gotten a little too excited with my fancy symmetrical kitchen garden plan and sowed my seeds a little early. I am going to throw some fabric that I bought last year to warm my melons and hope for the best.

My flower seedlings are growing with irrational exuberance. Almost a second set of leaves on many of them, yet they don’t know they don’t have a second home set up yet.
