They always grow really good when you're not ready to plant them out. This is all the squash, cucumbers, and melons. Everything good except one watermelon pot and I put more seed in it tonight in case the half sprouted thing doesn't grow a true leaf. They were all planted about 2 weeks ago.

The cucumbers came up tuesday (shown), some runner beans today, and tonight I saw some of the melons coming up and maybe something else. I didn't have heat under them, just under the lights, maybe 70-75F, 23C, on the surface when the lights are on.

I turned the heat mats on tonight, some of the pots were too wet and I don't want the squash or melons to take too long to come up. All saved seeds except squash.

Saw a Lebanese cucumber for 9.99 AUD in the supermarket today. Price for a single one, not for one kg!Couldn’t believe it, so I took a pic. Later this arvo I harvested a fresh heirloom organic cucumber from my hügelkultur veggie patch. Practically for free, if you don’t count the price for seedlings, time and effort. Growing your own food makes so much sense, with ever increasing prices more than ever! Better quality, better taste, and you get free exercise and nature therapy ;)
