Being sick with a cold kept me from tending to my small garden for an entire week, and I couldn’t help but worry about how things were holding up. Today, I finally mustered the energy to step back into my little oasis, and the results were… surprising!

My cabbages seem to have weathered my absence and are holding steady, but my garlic is showing some signs of stress with yellowing leaves—could it be overwatering, or do they need a little boost of nutrients? My parsley, on the other hand, hasn’t made much progress; they’re still tiny sprouts that haven’t taken off just yet. The carrots, thankfully, are thriving like champs, standing strong despite the neglect.

As for my radishes, they need a fresh start. I’ll be replanting the container bed and giving them the care they deserve this time around. Join me as I assess the damage, make plans for recovery, and share the lessons learned from leaving my garden untended for a week. Let’s grow together—even when life gets in the way!
