So what are the chances?

[hippywife]

We planted some onion starts this weekend and lots of seeds for other things...tiny, tiny, tiny little seeds. Then yesterday we had one gully-washer of a storm. Expecting another round tomorrow. Springtime in Oklahoma, yaaaaaa!

Anyway, the onion starts held up pretty well through the whole thing but I worry about the seeds. We are square foot gardening so I think it's fairly safe to assume they are still in the boxes, but I wonder if they how much they will have been shifted around by the pounding rain and how well they'll do now.

Anyone want to venture a little guess based on experience?

1. LOL!

I remember one year when my mom was gardening, about 20 years ago... a few days after she planted, there was torrential rain! Washed her seeds all over the lawn! It rained for like a week! Then we had to wait a few more days to let the yard dry out before even attempting to mow. She replanted in the actual garden, but t hen my brother went to mow, and he could pick out little seddlings poking out from the grass! We ended up having corn stalks growing whhere they had landed... and guess where most of them were? Right along the length of the brand new sewer line we'd had to put in a few months before! I guess that soil was quite fertile! She didn't harvest that corn, but she did get a really good laugh out of it!LOL
