Last spring I was always playing catch up with my veggie garden. This year I knew I had to do better. So I planning things out and it has pretty much been going well.

I did plant 3 zucchini today. I put them in pots. Big pots but still those pots can move. They are on the very top part of my driveway lined up. Well, as they grow, the pots can just be pulled apart to allow more space. I decided this was the best solution to the zucchini problem for me.

Yesterday I watched some Y-tube videos on how to grow zucchini and summer squash. I learned what bugs to watch for and I learned about putting the aluminium foil collar around the base of the seedling. So I did that so as to defeat any possible borers. Zucchini should be good to grow.

Later I will look for some Y-tube videos on growing eggplant. I have a feeling I have not allotted enough space for all the eggplants so I really need to learn.

And I planted my ten pepper plants today. So I am slowing working on getting all my veggie seedlings out and in ground.
