How does my garden grow?

Artichoke
Corn
Yellow Squash
Red Sunflower
Cucumber
I have been looking through recipes lately. I am going to be able to make alot of different thing with the veggies that I'm growing. One herb that I don't have is cilantro..It's in alot of the recipes so I think I'm going to buy a seed packet tomorrow and start cilantro. All of the basil are sprouting up. I'm planning on making alot of pesto (my favorite on pasta).
I re-read the packet for some and it says to thin when the plants are a few inches tall. So I thinned some today. Sad to end the seeds life before it gets taller and fullfills its destiny to become food...but I want to do this right and next time I will only put 1 seed per hole. Riley helped me plant the seeds and some of them we put 2-3 seeds per hole. The artichoke plant only had 3 little seeds in the packet...we planted all of them but only one has sprouted. Also, I havent seen the tomatoes sprout yet..but they take a while. Our strawberry plant is still doing great! Liam had 2 little red strawberries on his jello last night (it was his turn).
