At this time of the year I really enjoy my seedlings. They’re almost as fun to watch as the puppies are when they are newly born. You see, right now I have planted my seeds for cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, and butternut squash in our green house, and for a few days I watched, and now they have begun to poke through.
For instance, this morning a few had barely poked through the dirt in the pots.
And then I let the warmth of the sun do their work and I go back at the end of the day to check and see what miracles have occurred.
Now, I have had a garden for many years, but I still get so excited each time I go through this phase. In the morning they are barely peeking and by nightfall, they have popped through!
These are my slicing cucumbers. They really went crazy on Saturday. I love it! They won’t have seeds inside and will be good for eating. They’re also known as European Cucumbers.
This week I hope to go to the local shops that carry tomatoes, eggplant and pepper plants and buy some of those as well. I tell myself each year that I will start those in February, but I never do and it’s just easier to get them at the store.
I truly love spring, and all the new beginnings! What’s happening in your part of the world? Spring or Fall?
That’s nice you have your own “Bio/organic” garden, that saves a lot of money, lol ! It’s true our cucumbers don’t have any seeds, but I remember when I was a child in Germany they had, never noticed that til today.
I have been looking for those Cucumbers, can’t find them yet! Love YOU, Mel
Very exciting. You are going to have a great garden.
We don´t have cucumbers here without seeds. They sound perfect for pickling too. Can´t wait to see your trees blooming, I always enjoy those cherry and apple blossoms.
