My plants have been growing like crazy. We've transplanted the zucchini and cucumbers outside and they're getting used to the temperature and such on the patio. We started getting a lot of rain and such after that, so I've been waiting to be able to do the squash and pumpkins so that I have the room to start moving my peppers and eggplants into bigger containers.

I've really got to get a moment this weekend to transplant the squash, zucchini, pumpkins, and cucumbers outside. They are getting so big that their leaves overlap each other. They're also blocking the light from some of my smaller seedlings, like the eggplant and peppers.

My peas are doing pretty good. They seem to be loving the weather we've had lately. Even when we had the heavy rain they didn't mind, as I have them tucked under the patio where they still get sunlight, but not all the bad weather.

So today it's time to transplant more of my seedlings. This time it's the herbs. Once they start to get several true leaves on them, I go ahead and move them to the planters they'll be in outside. I go ahead and plant them all, as I know only some will make it through the process. If several of them end up growing large, I'll transplant them again to another set of these planters that I have, which means more herbs for me! ;)

With the basil I can also transplant it into some of my larger tomato planters once those are going, as the two plants love to be together.

Lately it's mostly been watching the plants grow and make sure they have the light and water that they need.

Took long enough - I was really worried about these seeds. I had already planted a second batch because they hadn't popped up. But today several small baby snapdragon plants were visible in the planters. They are tiny - probably the tiniest of all my seedlings - so I almost missed them. 

So over the last few days I've been transplanting all of the bigger seedlings into larger pots. The first ones were my zucchini. Every day I've been checking the watering tray to make sure there was still water. Not only was there still water, but it was about the same level. That really perplexed me today, so I decided to look further.

Turns out that the planters have a problem from when they were manufactured - the holes are missing. As such, the plants can't get to the water in the tray.
