0.000 HBDLate June Garden Report
I knew those zucchini and yellow crookneck starts were awfully small to be put out into the garden, but I did it anyway. That was on June 15th. I was gone for a few days, and the weather warmed up considerably in my absence. The little plant starts were not happy, especially the zucchini. This past Monday I decided they were mostly dead, and dubbed them Westley Zucchini. (Fans of The Princess Bride will understand the reference.) <center>  </center> Of six little starts, only one looks like it might survive, so I kept it. (See next photo.) The rest went into the discard pile. <center>  </center> Then I replaced the Westley zucchini plants with fresh ones from a local greenhouse. Much better: <center>  </center> One hill of Sweet Mama squash is not looking good, as is one hill of Sunshine Kabocha. I don't understand why three hills of each are just fine, while one hill of each looks pathetic. Perhaps I didn't handle them carefully enough. <center>  </center> <center>*Happy Sweet Mama*</center> <center>  </center> <center>*Unhappy Sweet Mama*</center> <center>  </center> <center>*Happy Sunshine Kabocha*</center> <center>  </center> <center>*Unhappy Sunshine Kabocha*</center> <center>Other squash in the garden look like they are going to be okay:</center> <center>  </center> <center>*The delicata is a bit pale, but should make it.*</center> <center>  </center> <center>*The yellow crooknecks I started myself are doing much better than the zucchini I started.*</center> <center>|  </center> <center>*I thought Bagheera sounded like a fun squash variety, so I bought one.*</center> <center>  </center> <center>*Hokkaida also sounded interesting, and I've grown Sugar Dumpling before, and we like it, so I got one of those, too.*</center> I opted to focus on squash this summer because they are fairly low maintenance. Since spring was so wet and chilly, I hope summer lasts well into September so these have a chance to produce plenty of tasty squashes. My gladiolas are up now, as are the potatoes; both got planted a month late, due to the weather and ambition levels. The tomato and pepper plants are looking okay. I still haven't put the cucumber plants out in the garden, because they are still very tiny. Maybe we'll finally be eating cucumbers in September! <center>*All photos taken on my Android phone.*</center>
