The robin eggs hatched!! We now have a few baby mascots in the garden. Today, we also managed to transplant dill, parsley, cilantro, and basil. All of the herbs were planted about 3 inches apart from each other. In addition to transplanting the herbs, we transplanted some more lettuce into the bed which we harvested a few weeks ago. Then, we renovated the bed from which we harvested lettuce last week. This involved pulling out all of the lettuce roots, cultivating the soil, dusting the bed with an organic fertilizer. Finally, we watered all of our recently transplanted plants with a mixture of fish emulsion and water. This will help minimize the shock from the transplant and help ensure that the plants do not die.
