Seeds! - Catch Up Part 6

This is the last of the catch up posts. While usually we do a lot of cooking when Mom's here, we didn't this time. Other than Thanksgiving, we really almost didn't cook at all. Well, other than the awesome sausage gravy I made.

In other words, mostly just garden stuff. Including - seeds! Several types of seeds. in fact. So here we go on the seeds...

First - Bell pepper.

I'm down to one producing plant, and I don't think it's that long for this world. I bought another, and it never did well, I don't know why. I bought another, that seems to be doing pretty well, but it's a ways off from peppers. I also figured, however, it couldn't hurt to try to grow some from seeds. As you see - so far, nada. I will say that just a few days after they were planted (and they are planted very shallow) there were several days of hard rain after. My guess is they got washed away or flooded. I'll give them a few more before I replant.

Second - Green beans.

Green beans, you ask? Don't you already have green beans? Indeed I do! However! I didn't realize that bean plants will finally wear themselves out. When my bean plants quit producing before, I assumed I had done something wrong. No, Mom said. They just have a limited life, and must be replanted. So I planted some seeds in with the other plants (that I won't feel bad about pulling up anymore, since they can go in the compost.), as well as another tub of them. The beans are growing - take a look!

And Third - Squash.

Yes, I am trying squash again. After three plantings of squash, a zucchini plant, more squash, and finally the pumpkins all went the way of the dodo bird, I swore I wasn't going to plant anymore. Then I was talking to this lady who said Heck No, you don't need to pick out butterfly larvae from the blossoms. Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get some spray. 

No, it is not organic. Yes, I am going to use it. You are free not to eat my squash, that has come up nicely, as you can see. I'll spray it when it gets bigger and starts to get blossoms.

I hope all two of you who read this feel very enlightened now, haha! Time for another topic tomorrow!
