It seems that all plants are blooming!

Garden update - squash and tomatoes

The weather here in New England is back to normal, no more 80s. Last weekend was rainy. Before the rain I had a chance to plant 8 first squashes -

1 black beauty, 4 fordhook, 1 mixed Italian summer squash, 1 autumn cup, 1 pinata, 1 small sugar pumpkin.

 And there is the first flower! This is a black beauty zucchini, and this is a male flower but anyway I am very happy.

On 4/21 I also planted 21 first tomatoes

Beefsteak, Red Siberian, red and yellow pear, sun gold. I have them outside on my balcony over 2 weeks, so they are pretty hardy and  I hope they wil fill better in a soil.

  I added about 2 tbsp bone meal to each hole and planted them till the first leaves. They even have a lot of sucklings!

Today I made trellis for them.

There is my first strawberry! Lucky me!
