Good growth

There was no frost the other night, but better safe than sorry anyway.

I'm finding myself weirdly proud of my vegetable plants and go out to check on them daily. I like to coax the pea plants towards the trellis and deliberate about which, if any, plants need to be thinned out. I still feel guilty about thinning, as though I may be ruining a perfectly good plant life. But I remind myself that it's for the good of the veggie community :) I hope!

Earlier this week I added two tomato plants and two pepper plants that Julie brought for me. I put them where I planted the cucumbers, since they don't seem to be growing anyway. I wonder if I do something wrong with them. The cukes were the only thing in last years garden that didn't even sprout. Hopefully the tomatoes and peppers will make good use of that space.

The carrots also seem to be growing much slower than the rest of the plants, but maybe that's normal. I think I need to get out the seed packs again and double check that. They are definitely growing though, so maybe we'll get something.
