I planted my 5 varieties of squash today. There are 2 each so far. I might plant more later.
I made large paper pots and I will transplant them into my beds when it is time, paper pot and all.
I used a mix of my own compost and the purchased one shown. About 50-50
I got the paper pots good and soaked with water, filled the pots to about 75% full. Then I added seed starter on the top. Planted the seed and then added a bit more seed starter over the seed.
Squash loves compost I am told, so as soon as those roots go down into the pot, they will have a good compost mix.
They are now living in my (cool) greenhouse in a tray on the bench. Will post more photos when they sprout.
This is fun!
