It's true--I've lost the joy and enthusiasm I previously possessed concerning my garden. I think the problem is that I killed most of my plants, and I'm having a little trouble getting past that. See, with all the 'water leak' troubles we had, I had the most stressful week, probably, of my life. So I needed a way to wind down, so the afternoon after we went to the zoo and we were waiting for the first plumber to come, I decided it was time to transplant my seedlings into the garden beds.
This was a BAD idea. VERY bad.
But why, you ask? Well, because it got COLD again. And it was very rainy, and cloudy, and not warm enough to help the plants get used to their new surroundings. And, I didn't have them outside long enough to acclimate. And, they probably weren't big enough. And, I don't know. But it didn't work.
Here's what they looked like the day I did it--nice, right??


And here is what they look like now.


Two marigolds dead, the yellow squash plant dead, BOTH cantaloupes dead, and I still don't know if the broccoli and cauliflower are going to make it or not.
I think I'll cry.
