These Babies Are Just Bursting With Life!

Squash and pumpkins are amazing to watch. The seedlings literally burst from the soil, sometimes throwing it onto the table. If you look closely, you can see tiny, white roots poking out of the soil. We put the seeds in peat pots that we can plant directly in the garden when they're ready since their roots really hate to be disturbed. As we plant each seedling into the garden soil, we'll plant a few seeds just down the row from each little plant. As the first plants mature and their production slows down, the seeds will have sprouted and grown and they'll be ready to replace their older siblings.
