Seed GROW Project: Baking in the Sun


My poor little nasties are baking in the sun. This spot in the front yard garden is south-facing and boy, does it get hot. They're hanging in there, as are the mini-cukes--but there's not a lot of growing going on with all this heat!

Last month, I transplanted some seedlings in my turtle's enclosure. They didn't make it. I suspect she ate them, but she's not telling. I'm going to try again but will block off the area so they have a chance to grow bigger than her tummy.

Tune in every first Sunday for updates on my seeds and visit GROW to see reports from across the US and Canada.

I'm growing Nasturtium "Spitfire" for the GROW project. Thanks to Renee's Garden for the seeds.

  1. Turtle? Cool--what kind? I tried to search for her but Blogger isn't cooperating. I bet the nasties will recover soon--it's hot here, too.

  2. Sorry about the heat. Seems that many of you are experiencing the same problem with the heat slowing down your nasturtiums.
