garden week 2

 the garden is growing! the squash and cucumbers have grown the most. their big leaves came out.

 i'm just proud that i can tell the difference between a squash plant and a cucumber plant now!

 the soaker hose has had positive and negative consequences. it's nice not to have to stand out there with the hose.. but i wasn't feeling as emotionally attached as i was when i individually watered them. majjy suggested inspecting all of the plants while they're being watered, so i did that today.

 the basil is the only plant so far with any issues. see how the leaves are kind of browning?

 and the squash was getting a little bit wilty.. but it's back to normal after i cut a few more holes in the hose. so far, so good!
