I potted two more zucchini plants out into bigger pots. Trying to decide whether to keep 6 or keep it at 4.
If I keep 6 I will need more potting mixā¦ I still need the stakes too. It seems easier to get tomato stakes and put them in the pots so everything is freestanding. Plus if I need to move them thereās minimal disturbance to the vines.
The potting mix isnāt a problem. Thatās too heavy to get stolen (I hope). The stakes though incur a $25 delivery feeā¦ I probably have to enlist help there.
The pet shops are also giving me a hard time about delivering to a friendās address. I forced myself out for the treats and Zylkene but hate doing it and the local doesnāt have her biccies. Iād sort a parcel locker but ran into issues
4 zucchini plants will feed a family of 10 and have enough left over to put in a still to be boiled down for illegal alcohol. 6 - um probably too many for just one person. I'd go for 2 only I think.
Ah ok good call! I am growing it to give to someone with a family and can probably anonymously gift excess to a dumping/exchange areaā¦
Iāve just planted many seeds and potted out 4 of the largest in case I failed at gardening
Edit: Iāve created a monster havenāt I
Zucchs are monsters. The problem with gifting extras is that when ones own zucchs come up ripe, so are everyone else's. Illegal alcohol is your friend here. Still, having an extra or two on the go in case of snail/slug invasion is a good idea.
Oh noā¦ I donāt even drink alcohol.
Iāll leave it at the 4 I already planted out and ādonateā the other plants. I just wanted to do something constructive and help feed people š
I wanted to plant mini pumpkins too but will likely have my hands full as is.
Small/mixed seed bundles should be a thing
Alcohol is trade goods.
Knowing my luck the still would blow up or Iād get jailed. Pappy didnāt teach me how to do that properā¦
Alsoā¦ do you really want me giving the people in my area more alcohol š¬
Oops. A definite consideration to be sure. My bad.
