Squash Update

It’s been awhile since the transplant post, and I wanted to share an update on the squash.

The Golden Squash plants are doing awesome! Seriously, like, really awesome. They even have little buds that are starting to flower. We are not sure if we should actually try to grow little squashes inside just yet, jury is still out if we should let them be or try to preserve energy by taking off the buds.

The Sure Thing squashes are not far behind, and once they started growing, they kept going!

The original largo never popped up, but I did have 2 more of those seeds left (well, I think – remember, this is all my google-educated guess). I planted these directly in the terracotta pots, and finally, Largos have arrived!

Unfortunately, the Greyzini did not actually pop up either. The seed was just dislodged and pushed to the surface in the last picture. I was quite disappointed, as that was the only Greyzini seed in the pack. I ended up emailing Burpee customer service to express my disappointment in the lack of 25% distribution of the seeds since I didn’t have a backup. They responded with their apologies, and I should be getting a new packet any day now. There is still plenty of time to sprout one.

Mmm… can’t wait to GET MY SUMMER SQUASH ON!
