Still another week before the move..

Saturday, October 18th, 2008 | Author: Petra

Some of my beans had roots hanging out of the bottom of their toilet roll so I potted them up since we’re not moving for another week, and even when we do I won’t be able to plant them on the first day! I’m trying to recycle, so for pots I used old plastic containers that we don’t need and some UHT soymilk cartons with the pour hole used for drainage.

This bean is a Purple King climbing variety:

I’ve also had two zucchini plants pop up, and my cabbages and marigolds that popped up earlier have all survived the cooler evenings so far. I have no idea how many plants to grow yet since I have never grown my own vegetables, but I’ve heard that zucchinis are quite prolific so I can probably stick with the two if they both survive the move. I’m not sure how many beans so I’ll likely grow some more of those and see how many I end up with. My snow peas grew excellently and have been producing plenty of pods. The new tenants here will get to enjoy plenty of peas!
