The Garden Project: Chapter 4--Getting our Hands Dirty

A couple days later (we were exhausted and needed a few days rest before continuing) a couple of us gathered again in the garden with one mission: GET THE SEEDLINGS INTO THE GROUND! They were sitting so lonely in their little seedlings trays and were crying to become part of mother earth! We started with the herbs because we already had an existing herb garden with sage, lavendar, parsley, and chives (returned from last year in full bloom) so we added herbs in between those plants. The basil though we planted with the tomatoes because it is classic to find the two harmoniously growing together. We planted all of the brassica together (kale, chard, broccoli, and collards) and the tomotoes were given their own beds (they like to compete for nutrients, so we spaced them out and allowed plenty of room for growth).

And then we did all that we could do: we watered them daily and waited...and waited...and waited for everything to grow.
