More Sprouting, and Some Unexpected Strays

Some Summer Squash Sprouting
Zucchini - Doing Quite Well
Watermelon - Yay!
Hyssop and Calendula Sprouting
Mystery Plants
































Here we have some mystery plants growing on the lawn. This happened as a result of the chickens. See, every time we get a squash, cantaloupe, etc to eat, the pulp and seeds scraped from the insides are left outside for the chickens to eat. Apparently not all of the seeds were eaten, and so there are now some mystery squash / honeydew / cantaloupe / who knows plants growing in the middle of the backyard lawn. Oh well...

Some Sprouting

At this point in the year I had finished all of the planting, which included a few varieties of squash, some green beans, watermelon, cantaloupe, a couple sunflowers, and miscellaneous herbs. The first couple squash plants have finally sprouted (took a while), and here they are:


Zucchini


Japanese Red Kuri Squash
