[esperanza]

Is this a good place to ask for HELP?! I'm not a gardener at all. I have vague memories of a garden when I was a child, but I don't remember anything about what we did to take care of it or plant it. I had this really great idea to get ds a garden seeds kit for Easter. It's super cute, but I obviously didn't think through what we were were going to do with all his seedlings. He has six different plants that have sprouted and probably should have been transplanted forever ago. Beans, radishes, summer squash, watermelon, carrots, and cucumbers.

I went to Home Depot and left with two bags of soil. Ugh- what is it called? Not topsoil, but the soil you use to make a raised bed? That's as far as we've gotten. We have a big backyard, but I don't want a garden to be in the way of where ds plays. I was really hoping we could just have some pots with plants (I must have been thinking that when I decided to get the kit), but I guess the watermelon and summer squash are going to need a lot more space. I have little motivation to put a lot of work into this, but I also know that ds will be thrilled if he actually gets some fruit and vegetables. I also have very limited time with help from dh. We've been saying "tomorrow" forever about this. What do we do??!! Our backyard faces west if that helps.
