I like how she's planting in groups as if they were flowers.  Yesterday I put in some butternut squash. My birdhouse gourd seed hasn't sprouted yet. I don't know if bushy vines will grow here but I'll find out. I have a different way to make birdhouses. I should make a video of it. My bush beans have flowers! What the heck? They barely have any leaves how can they go to flower so soon? I'll try to take a picture. |

Really? Flowers but no leaves? How do they photosynthesize? Ooof, that word took me 4 minutes to type!  |

Yes, they only have 4 - 6 leaves on them. The flowers haven't opened yet. They are going to be purple. I'll take a photo of them when they open.

Sometimes plants flower before they are expected to when they are about to die...This might be what is happening to my zucchini plants. Many leaves are drying up and now they have many flower buds that have not opened. Eik! They were doing so well. They also drink sooooo much water now. I water them 2-3 times per day.

How do you know when they need a drink or when theyve had enough? Is the ground really dry or they just sorta wilt?

The soil in the pot does get pretty dry and they wilt too...

Wow, I don't water my plants that much. They are a bit brown on the edges. Hmm...
