| Butternut Squash seedlig - planted 4.17.11 photo 4.21.11 |
Per my usual, last night I remembered after the lights were out and I was about to start counting sheep, that I needed to water the seedlings. So I jumped up, bundled up - the basement is rather chilly - and ran down to the basement to water my soil...what did I see? I saw pie pumpkins, butternut squash and grape tomatoes poking their little heads through the soil.
Ok - so I didn't read up on how long it takes a pumpkin or squash seed to germinate, but my sources tell me tomatoes take 10 days...I planted everything on Sunday, that's 4 days by my count - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
This morning there was a little more life to the seedlings, and I noticed the cucumbers had decided to join the party...
but this evening...WOW! I think we may be on track to have pumpkins and butternut squash growing wild in our basement!
