I see sprouts this morning in a couple of my pots of seeds I started. I had to do some gardening & since I can't get outside to do any big projects yet, (due to weather)..........I started some acorn squash seeds indoors.
Each year I plant the veggie garden, I use many plants from the nurseries, as our growing season is just too short. My previous house had such large overhangs, I didn't get much light indoors, so didn't even thing of starting seeds inside. No greenhouse, so I relied on the starts. No matter how early or often I went shopping, I could not find a bunch of acorn squash plants. I really couldn't find many plants at all.....
So, this year, with windows full of light (as much light as we get in WA state on a cloudy, rainy day) I began to expand my garden by using my own starts. I think we've got a better chance at enough acorn squash this year. They have turned out to be one of my favorite veggies. Versitile, keepers......fun & easy to grow.
Now that my little experiment worked, I'll need to start some more seeds today. I have received an order so I've got plenty to work with. Also have some flower seeds I collected from my old gardens to start here this season, almost to a point I can scatter them in beds outdoors.
Definately have the garden bug bad here........itching to get outside, but another damp, grey day here........and today we've got gusty wind to add to the mix.
