Hey my zucchini plants never sprouted this year - where did you find your plants? Jeff looked at Home depot and Lowes for some when he was there, here in Morgan they haven’t yet received their plants in yet! I was thinking maybe Valley or J&Js might still have some. [/quote]

](GB 1 planted 10 days ago — Postimages) non cover covered, the size difference is notable seeds were planted in the back

](Green house 3 5 24 23 — Postimages) These were planted from seed but no GH cover These were planted from seed but had the GH cover

Well, that’s a huge difference!

It’s always nice to take a break from the daily garden checks and when you return there is positive growth like that.

My yellow squash is blooming like crazy right now and with little bee presence yet I am pollinating them myself. The zucchini has yet to flower.

Hoping last night was end of our upper 40 degree nights so all our garden areas can really start taking off - can’t cover everything - so fingers are crossed,

Our son ‘donated’ to us a peony he didn’t want. Normally, you’d do this when they are dormant so we’ll see if it will make it - it’s worth a try anyway. Don’t even know what color it’s supposed to be as our son couldn’t remember. Fun to try.

I made the mistake of opening up my hoop GH’s yesterday, then forgot to close them before the sprinklers came on, so they are now full of water, hopefully some of the water evaporates before the evening :-/

That GH covering is really making a nice difference!

Wow Curt yours looks wonderful, my cucumbers are just coming up and yours are producing, that’s a big difference congrats and nice job…But I’m kind of glad I’m not harvesting already even though I’m missing sale weeks, but I’ve still got so many other things on my plate I don’t have time to go to market each Saturday yet… I’ll bet that fresh produce is really good this time of year… Later Jeff

](another zucchini — Postimages) After removing the hoop GH cover on box #2, I put it on GB #1 to see if it would help it grow faster and to my amazement it really helped in the three weeks it was over it. Because it was not built for the GB, it did not fit properly but it covered it enough to make the difference.
