Planting squash

Last year we grew sweet potatoes in pots near the library windows.  We had a good crop, but now we have to grow something different there, since the soil components that sweet potatoes need are depleted.  To replenish the soil, we sifted compost and added it to the pots.

This year, we'll plant squash in the pots.  We selected three varieties: zucchini, delicata, and patty pan.  Javion made small mounds and put a few seeds in each mound.  Mr. Dwyer put a label in each pot, and kept a record in the garden journal.
