Here it is the next day and I find that the green beans are popping up –

And I don’t know if I just didn’t see them yesterday or if they just showed up today – the beets –

You can tell from these pictures that after I planted the garden it rained like mad and then dried out. I’m surprised the seeds can push through the hard crust that forms, but push they do.  We have been getting a lot of rain this month. You would tend to think it’s good for the garden, but not if it drowns everything. Let’s hope for better conditions.
