Day 29: Carrot Crisis?

Over the weekend we discarded one Eggplant which was unquestionably dead, but  the majority of the other vegetable plants in The Mayne Garden look pretty good. Of course, since we are worrywarts we are concerned about some of Garden plants...We are referring to our Fennel and Carrots. We planted both of these from seed only four weeks ago and they are very small, not good for cool weather vegetables with the summer here.
      When we planted these seeds we knew it was late, but we figured considered this kind of an experiment.  "Let's see what happens", we thought. Regardless of success or failure of these, we decided to sow a second crop of Fennel and Carrots in mid-July for a Fall yield.
      Still, we find the fact that our Turnips are doing well even though they too are a cool weather vegetables like Fennel and Carrots.
