sounds like your garden is coming along....I can say that we've been very rainy here in eastern washington and low 50's if not upper 40's....seeds are doing very little...I've got more planted in dixie cups and hopefully can edge them along to go in the main garden..my husband brought home probably 2 dozen 5gallon buckets today so tomorrow I'm going to throw some plants in there....

what's good here?....well my garlic...some onions growing...I have some leeks and crossing my fingers on them...beans are up ....a few Indian corn plants are okay...don't know if they'll be as high as my knee on the 4th of July....brussel sprouts look good....

my tomatoes are looking okay and even have one blossum...those are the plants I fertilized..

but its all fun....and I am enjoying my fresh dill and fresh leaf lettuce....

Yesterday's lettuce. Peas at the top of their supports. Blooming heavily now, but no pods yet.

Questions: I planted 2 different kinds of bush beans about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I have no sprouts from one kind, and only 3 beans sprouted from another. Also, my zucchini and my yellow squash are doing nothing. Acorn squash and cantaloupe planted at the same time have a couple of seeds starting (all I want), and cucumbers planted at the same time have 100% germination. Is it time to throw in the towel (trowel?) and start over on the beans and the squash?

On the cucumbers -- I have 5 plants started in 2 circles -- 2 varieties for a total of 10 plants which I intend to train onto the fence. Should I reduce the number of plants to 3 of ea. variety?

Incomplete germination in the squash and bean bed. The Kentucky Wonder beans are doing great, as are the scarlet runner beans on the garden gate.

2 kinds of corn thinned to the 8 in suggested spacing for a Square Foot Garden.
