Yesterday, I planted a Big Max pumpkin seed. Just one because there's not a lot of room left for such sprawling plants as squash. Hopefully one seed will be all the garden needs.
The zucchini I planted has sprouted out and looks very strong and healthy. Just have to keep the cats from entering the beds. The tomato seeds and the pepperoncini seeds I planted in separate vases are all sprouting nicely.
Yesterday I finished planting lettuce into some vases. Also filled a large urn with Zinnia seeds. Added additional string bean seeds into the ground as the original ones mostly did not sprout. Added additional corn kernels as well since only a few developed into plants.
Today I added some cilantro seeds into some empty spots in a window box full of sprouting herbs. I'm waiting on an order I placed for a corn variety that is meant for containers. That sounds really exciting so I'm looking forward to filling a container with corn kernels and placing it on the deck. Not only will it produce lovely plants and actual ears of corn but it will also serve as a great decoration for autumn and its associated holidays and festivals.
Picture updates to come soon!
