All of the Squarsh and most of the Cukes have outgrown the Seed Starting Rack, and now have their own dedicated table: The remains (some replants)-Top: Peppers---Middle: Basil & Cuke runts on the left, the other three (3) trays Tomatoes---Bottom: All Tomatoes The Gotch

i gotta ask, what do you do with the squarsh, and cukes between now and plant out?
must be another month before danger of frost is past for you, eh. you got a big sun room
or green house type structure? inquiring minds, and all.

Hardening off''ll begin on the back porch (which ain't that awful big) in ~10 days to two (2) weeks; all I gotta say is them there Tomatoes & Peppers best kick it up another notch!

The Gotch

Your squash are planted early in the season. What do you use to deter the SVB (squash vine borer)? I tend to plant mine later to try to avoid them.
