It’s October and the maggies are singing.

As the weather warms up what do you have planned for your landscape, pots, patch, window box - or even the lone houseplant/cactus in your apartment?

I planted the whole packet of 25 zucchini seeds (~3 in each paper cup) to avoid waste by letting them get old and non-viable, also in case of few actually germinating. Well it looks like so far 14 have popped. I have 12 pots.

Some are getting first leaves, a few have a second pair and others are just sprouting. Guess I see which survive snails/pests or are the healthiest.

I also sowed more spinach and Paris market carrots in window boxes. The pot is not large enough to grow many carrots but I’ll just use the seeds before they get too old.

I’d share with a seed library but it’s not easy for me to get there
