Nope, turns out I haven't screwed up my garden. At least, not yet.

Just three days ago, I was questioning whether I'd already killed my barley plants. Or whether they were ever going to live to begin with.

Welp:




Lookit them beauties. Couple inches tall, some of them. Four rows. Might be some don't come up still, and might be I end up culling a few, but there they are.

Gardening. It's like magic.

Here's the bird's-eye view:




I dunno if you can tell that there are distinct rows growing, but if you look closely, you can see the green. I'm going to keep doing this angle over time.

tl,dr;

Three days after I lamented my lack of barley plants, I've got barley plants. Ten days after planting.
