My little bush beans have sprouted!!!!! [/quote] Same here...along with 2 types of cukes! The rain really helped :) [/quote] We've had too much rain! I'm worried everything will be over-watered. So far though, everything has been growing like mad. I'm so proud of my little garden!! [/quote] Watering with hydrogen peroxide can help remedy drowning roots. But you need a careful amount mixed in water and not over do it. Just enough will add oxygen in the soil with out burning the plants roots. There's lots of stuff online about that. Using tap water? If so it's better to let it evaporate the chlorine. I let my plant water sit 1 day with no lid. Though that's not very practical for a modest outdoor garden. Mostly for house plants and special outdoor plants. [/quote]

Let's take a deep breath and relax by the plants, you guys. Seriously - this world has gone to absolute shit and I went and sat outside barefoot in my little (beginner's) garden, and I literally FELT my blood pressure go down...I felt my body relax.
So this is my first actual garden. I've grown things here and there, but this is the first time I actually sat down and planned out an actual garden. I saw my first potato sprouts yesterday and squealed with delight. I grew that!
There are few things as exciting as watching veggies grow that you put there yourself.
Oh. my. goodness....why didn't I start doing this earlier???
