I THINK I'd have enough room for that. And starting from seeds would be fine for zucchini, I'd think.
I'm still considering 'maters...but nervous about the whole staking deal. Dunno if I'd get that right.
As for sage...I cheated on that and bought plants, and I'm still hoping they flourish. They're still alive after a week of being outside in the ground...but don't look altogether happy yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Zucchini germinates easily too. So you're good on that.
I don't stake my maters. I put 'em in cages. I made my cages out of old sheepwire I had laying around. I like them better than stakes. Just put 'em over the plants when they're little and you ain't gotta worry.
I tried everything with sage here. First, I transplanted my plant from home. It died. Nothing else that I dug and transplanted died! Even the rosemary which everyone *told* me wouldn't work has thrived! Then, I planted seeds and last summer I bought a nice healthy plant and planted it again. All 3 of these attempts were in different spots in the yard. I'm bumfuzzled!
You can grow herbs in pots, right? I've thought that might be nice to do when I have my own place.
Grr... stinkin' engineers... what I have here is half the data I need to use these equations. I'm no physics major, I don't know how to find deltaP when they've given me an equation to find flow rate!
