I planted pumpkins, squash, zucchini, and sunflowers a week and a half ago and they are coming up great. That is zucchini in the top image then squash, pumpkin, and a sunflower. I love growing these because they grow quickly and produce a lot. Since our yard is mostly dirt, the pumpkins spread out and make it look lush while protecting the soil and encouraging the grass to grow. The zucchini, courtesy of my cousin Stephanie, are sprouting even bigger than the pumpkins. I have never grown them before, but I'm really looking forward to it. The sunflowers I planted have a fighting chance this year, because the dogs have more room in the yard and don't feel the need to trample everything I plant outside of the garden bed. I can't believe it's still April and almost the whole garden is planted. I am liking this longer growing season.
