Before My Eyes

I’ve heard the joke that squash grow so fast you can see it grow.  This weekend I feel like that actually happened.  When I checked my garden Sunday morning three of the four zucchini seeds had sprouted.

Throughout the day the fourth zucchini and half of the yellow squash seeds popped out of the ground.

Every few hours there was another set of leaves sprouting and I was a big dork excited every time another seedling popped out of the dirt.

I almost wish I had a time elapse camera to capture Mother Nature doing her thing.

I also noticed small flower buds in the “Big Early” Bonnie Hybrid pepper plant.

This weekend I planted cucumber plant #2. 

Boyfriend would like to have a regular cucumber this year in addition to the small cucs that I was successfully able to grow last spring.  The first cucumber plant never seemed to adapt to the garden so I picked up a replacement at Lowes today, followed the directions on the peat container unlike last time, and planted it. Hopefully this plant will transplant better then the first one.

My spring garden is starting to take shape.
