Motherly Worries

This is something that every new gardener experiences: the fear that my seeds will not sprout!

I optimistically planted my seeds this past weekend, assuming the weather would continue to be sunny and temperatures continue to rise.  Incorrect assumption.  The last four days have been both cold and rainy.  Not the kind of weather that entices seeds to germinate.  I'm concerned that the seeds will either wash away in the rain or succumb to mold...

On a positive note, the Swiss chard sprouts survived transplanting - so at least I will have something to harvest this year!
