I have been reading about the RGGS (rain gutter growing system) on facebook. Being the age that I am, I was a little hesitant. I had an old canvas bag in my closet, you know the kind that you get when you go to a seminar, and thought that would work. I also had one of those hospital basins and thought that would work too. I have never been able to grow squash so I got a zucchini squash plant and planted it in the bag. I kept the basin mostly full of water most of the time. I could see that the top of the bag was moist so I knew there was enough water in there. This plant started growing like gangbusters. I was so excited. Today, I went out and there was this most beautiful golden squash blossom.
Now, I like blossoms for breakfast but had to save this one for photos.
I have also planted my Armenian cucumber and some zinnias in separate bags and shall see how they grow.
What have you planted this Spring?
