How to get your Garden to grow!!

Are gardens like a watched pot? Otherwise, if you are constantly watching your garden does it never grow? It certainly seems like it. Our garden has been growing for about three weeks and as of Tuesday morning they were only two inches tall. Because we were leaving fro a few days we saturated our garden with water the night before. When I say saturated I mean it, we ran the soaker hose for about an hour and then we ran a sprinkler on it for about another hour. We did not want it to get dry and burned while we were gone. Upon our return we found that our garden had grown several inches while we were gone. Thus, to get your garden to grow, saturate it with water. Then leave town for a few days. :)
