I woke up this morning to a torrential downpour, so lack of soil moisture should no longer be an issue.

So far, not much has come up yet. However, as I got to looking, there were a few little lablab plants coming up:


What was interesting was that of all the plants I saw, they were at two distinct stages of development. There were some, like the one above, that clearly began germinating soon after we planted the field. They had already deployed their first true leaves. The other lablab plants looked like this:


They haven't quite put out their first true leaves yet. It seems like these had begun germinating after Wednesday's rain. Since neither last weekend's nor Wednesday's rain was that heavy, I'm hoping today's downpour will be enough to get the rest of the seeds growing.

I didn't see any sunflowers, but they usually take a longer to germinate.
