Only 4 plants came up and cutworms eat 3 of them....  you can tell part of the problem, too much shade! my neighbors willow oak has leaned over to fill in the space where I cut out a tree to get more sun for the garden! She has given me permission to trim it but all the branches are over the garden now. Either it will cause damage to the plants, the trellise or my pocket book!

I hope you planted again. After 3 plantings of carrots, I see I finally have 2 or 3 sprouts; will have to wait to see if something eats them besides me.
On the overhanging tree: In general, anything plantwise overhanging from a neighbor's yard into your yard is fair game for you to cut without permission. Just thought that worth mentioning in case relations aren't good, that you know you have law on your side. Now to muddle it with caution, if your trimming kills or harms the health of said neighbor's plant, you might have problems. By all means consult an arborist and an attorney.
Now I'm off to plant an Orby seed.
