All of the zucchini's (6 of them from 6 seeds planted directly in the container) have started flowering. Here's a pic of the first actual zucchini growing. This is just 36 days after planting. I know that zucchini is one of the easiest things to grow, but I'm still pretty proud of myself. (Oh, and this pic was the first taken with my new lens. Thanks, Mom!) -Farmer Jim
Wow, that explains why you see little zucchinis everywhere in the market. Congrats, can't wait to see the harvest! :)
ReplyDeleteNice pic, Farmer Jim!
ReplyDeleteWow, looking good! The only reason I suggested you talk to a peace corps person in my previous post was because I know that some volunteers work specifically with "food security" and encouraging people to grow their own food. (For when you actually start working with the Kekchi Institute). I think I saw a post by a peace corps guy in guatemala on how to make containers from used car tires. I just tried to find it but couldn't. Here's a link to some PCV's in Nicaragua that did something similar: http://hellofromnicaragua.blogspot.com/2009/09/food-food-food.html
