This morning I went out and planted sweet meet squash seeds. We saved them from last year so we are not sure what is going to happen. Squash tend to cross pollinate so the seeds they produce could be strange inedible hybrids. We had zucchini and some other mystery squash that looked liked a yellow and green grenade in the garden, so the chances aren't good for a pure delicious sweet meet.
I also planted my absolute favorite crop of all time - soy beans - what is used to make edamame. I love them for their high protein content, delicious flavour, they're easy to harvest and store. So I'll be planting a lot more in the coming weeks.
It worked out well with the weather. It was cloudy and then rained half an hour after the seeds were in the ground. Nature took care of my seed soaking. Then it became gloriously sunny and hot. Sprouting should be right around the corner...
