They were cucumbers...

THESE are the Nasturtium... THOSE were the cucumbers!  I did manage to dig them up from the front flowerbed and replace them with the actual flower (while, of course, unleashing ANT DOOM) but pops said I could keep the other ones in the garden where they were.  The ones in the flower bed were at like 5 to a spot so when I dug them up I decided to put them into their own little pots to grow and maybe I can sell them or give them away to friends or neighbors!

When it froze we thought our squash plants died so pops asked me to replant some seeds.  However, now there are tons of squash plants poking out of the ground (my guess is because it only got the leaves but not the root).  My idea is to thin them out and, instead of tossing them, potting them to also hand out.

I replanted some of the basil sprouts and wonder what the heck I'm to do with the rest of them.  I, for whatever reason, hate the idea of just letting them die.  I put four or five in a window box, one to replace the one that must have died from the freeze or something, and 6 in those little compartment things that you buy flowers in at the store.  I would like to be able to sell/give those as well. 

Maybe we could post a sign on our mail box that invites our neighbors to come check out our inventory.  What can I say?  I strive to be a business woman!

I do hope my flowers bloom.  I got the seeds a year ago or so and they never bloomed, they just got spider mites (and they were on our concrete porch on the second story!), so sad!  Pops knows the cure, I'm sure, if that happens again.
