garden outlook

This past week I have been on pins and needles wondering what is going to live and what is going to kick the bucket. We successfully transplanted our garden on Saturday and now just piddly things are being done to ensure the survival of our plants. I think it is safe to say the squash are the tough guys out of this mess, when we initially transplanted them they flattened out like wet newspaper on the ground or drama queens after a bad break up. After a few days and gallons of water they perked up, some of the leaves are crusty and falling off but there is a whole new plant sprouting from the core, and that my friends makes me happy. As for the tomatoes, onions, peppers, eggplants, and other random things we took they aren't looking so hot, or should I say too hot cause they're uber wilted but the leaves seem moist not crisp so we can hope! I had to uproot my potatoes, yams, sweet, yellow etc. I refused to have them just be plowed over! SO if anyone were to kill them it was going to be me. The Yams were really funny looking, if you have ever seen the movie Pan's Labyrinth it looked like that weird root baby the kid put in the milk bowl under her moms bed. It was a yam fetus, totally gross but totally funny. Since we have asked for so much help and received it, we have sparked a bit of garden fever in the ward, Andrew is now in charge of an Elders Quorum fall garden he has a partner to help him now and they are planning a fall crop. We had tons of help which was nice and took a load off. The pictures up top are what things currently look like.
