Everything seems okay.
The tomatoes have perked up considerably. Now I know what they look like when they need water. The cucumbers were looking a little down as well. I suppose it makes sense as tomatoes and cucumbers are very juicy, so it stands to reason they need a lot of water, especially in the beginning. I imagine the eggplant will be the same way as will the pumpkins once they start sprouting.
I'm still concerned about that corner where the chard was planted. The seeds are about the size of fleas and are planted rather shallow. That waterfall I mentioned before is apparently caused by a funnel created by the sunroom roof meeting the roof to the main part of the house. While the rest of the garden seems to be fairing well, the massive storms we have been getting has been turning the chard corner into a lake. It drains, but I'm afraid that the seeds have been washed away. I guess I'll have to just wait and see.
And, if that poor tomato that is also taking a beating under the waterfall makes it, I will be shocked.

More storms, yeesh. At this point, it might not be washing away so much as my seeds rotting. Yay Spring in Arkansas.

During the brief respite, I watched a squirrel on the neighbor's wooden fence that is beside my garden. He seemed rather interested in it. I would like to say I also like squirrel gumbo, buddy...
