Sidedressed Squash Started in Greenhouse
The squash started in the Greenhouse is blooming and has produced a few zucchini and small yellow squash. Should have side-dressed them last week but did so now with 33-0-0. Sprinkled it around the leaf line and some under the outer leaves. Used the stirrup hoe to remove the few small weeds and work the pellets into the soil. Later in the afternoon watered it in and that night we got 0.14″ of rain.
