planted too soon

The little marigold sprout has died. The stem stayed straight and strong, but the seed leaves withered and turned brown. The lentils got very tall, maybe six inches, but now they are falling over limp. Only the popcorn sprouts remain green and growing in my windowsill. I bought Burpee seeds at Target yesterday. All for my mother's garden. Morning glory and Moon flower for the long fence. An heirloom sweet pea for the fence by the rose bush. Patio sweet pea for out on the corner by the little red fence. And zucchini because it called to me.
