A final check-in on a few plants that have been through quite a bit lately. Here (below) is how 11 of our squash plants responded to minor surgery.
These four plants at the Florence Crittendon Home are doing well over a week after surgery. They had a number of good sized fuits and flowers.
At Sayre School, three plants are recovering well. We harvested two pounds of Patty Pan squash on Wednesday morning.
At the London Ferrell Community Garden two plants died following surgery. They looked like they were doing well early on, but died at the 10 day mark. One plant survived and is producing. (Photo not available–too sad.)
So we’re 8-2 for squash. That is much better than last year (0-10!) Do stay tuned as we continue to learn how to grow food in our setting.
