Wednesday Walk: Squash and Watermelon

in Ladies of Hive2 years ago (edited)

I love vegetables. There is just a wonderful array of flavors and textures which you can savor when you eat.

I also love planting vegetables! I've been planting them ever since I had my first home. I planted and planted like there was no tomorrow... that was 21 years ago!

No matter how small a space you have, you can plant vegetables. I currently have such a small space, and I use pots to plant vegetables.


This year I decided to forgo the tomatoes, and eggplants, and malabar and okra, and what-not. Why not plant the usual? I think it's because of vacation plans 😜, hehehe.

Instead, I planted zucchini squash!

Can you see it in the photo above? It's a tiny lizard! And I captured it while taking photos of the squash plant.


In my backyard, there is some room to grow a vegetable (not in a pot).

I planted a set of three groupings of three to four squash seeds each. I placed in a spot where it is sunny all day.


They are flowering already. I still don't know which are the male flowers from the female because they are quite young yet.


But as soon as I can tell, I will pollinate the females so that I can have plenty of fruits!


How did I plant squash? I made a mound for the seeds. Then with my fingers, I buried one seed at a time, about 3 to four pieces each. And I spaced the groupings of seed 8 inches to 10 inches apart. Simple.

I watered the seed every day, and this is how it looks today!


Now, this is watermelon. I did the same thing with these. It' a long 90-days growing season, and I think I planted the seeds a little late. We'll see.


I look forward to a bountiful harvest 🥰. Almost everything homegrown in the garden tastes better!



I hope you are enjoying your day! Until the next one!

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Yes, they are doing very well! I can see some fruits already. Look at it!

That’s awesome

Hey @silversaver888, here is a little bit of BEER from @tattoodjay for you. Enjoy it!

Do you want to win SOME BEER together with your friends and draw the BEERKING.

You are so right, homegrown definitely tastes so much better!
We only have herbs at the moment as the monkeys raid the vegetable garden, they even pull out root crops so we've given up now!
That is a real tiny lizard beneath the zucchini plant @silversaver888; the flowers are so pretty not so! Nature's quite amazing, to think that it will soon be an edible vegetable.
Enjoy your gardening 🤗

I enjoy gardening, even when the space is small. I have the backyard cemented thinking I will not garden anymore, hahaha.
Well, after two years staying in my new home, I planted slowly, and now.... well, I am slowly getting back to it, hehehe!
Have a nice Friday, @lizelle !

As a kid @silversaver888 I didn’t care for zucchini. When I met Liz she started baking zucchini bread. Lately she has been experimenting with zucchini bread with blackberries and apples cooked into it Yum!🤗🤗
Liz wrapped up one piece for me today is she left for work, and she hid the rest of the zucchini bread… 🤔
Silvertop has no willpower, I would’ve eaten the whole thing lol!🤣😇

Oh, you have will power... but when it comes to the missus' cooking, it's out the door, hahaha 🤣!
Wow, zucchini-blackberries-apples bread! Where does she hide it, @silvertop ?

They look very nice! I am blessed by my neighbors who keep giving me zucchinis and I've been working on a zucchini bread with apples and added plant protein powder to bolster their protein value. Kind of like a protein bar, if you will. I made the batter up and put it in a bundt cake pan, but before I put it all in, I added a spoonful of blackberries all around and then covered that with more batter and baked it. Oh my gosh, is it good! I'm looking to boost the protein powder the next time until It has about 15-20g of protein per slice. It may take a while, as I don't want to over power the flavor and I am thinking I will need to reduce some of the flour. The plant protein is 'flour-like' so I think it will work, but will continue to build the recipe. I am thinking you could make the same out of the squash! I am sure your garden will grow sis......you DO have a green thumb! Love ya tons!🤗😘🌸💕 !LADY

That lizard looks really tiny. Your plants are growing really well and its a good idea to pollinate the squash to get more seeds.

Good luck with your plants 🥰.

Thanks for your well-wishes, @hopestylist!
Do you pollinate the flowers of your squash too?
I love planting, although I'm no expert, hehehe.

You're welcome Ma'am, it's my pleasure.

I love flowers too, but I find it hard to pollinate or even plant them because of the environment I live in but I have plans of cultivating some though.

I have seen others cultivate theirs and that's how I'm learning little by little. I think you are not doing so bad yourself, it's a matter of time and I'm sure you will do really well at it and then I will get to learn more about it from you still.

Have a fabulous Thursday Ma'am 🥰❤️.

Your plants look really good. I want to add plants to my home too and I often cancel because I do not have the space. You have encouraged me. I'm going to make good use of my small space.

Yes, you can plant in pots! Did you see the links I provided in the article?
I currently have Bitter melon planted with my Calla lily. Look!

Happy Hive PUD @silversaver888 💪🐝

The squash plant on your photo reminded me the Muscat squash that I planted few years ago. It started to grow very well and we had up to 6 of them but when I planted it was middle of summer and I was not really sure that they will grow. So the summer was too short and only two reach good size but unfortunately, remained green and not edible.
