Just to heighten your trust in my garden skills let me start off by informing you of a recent death of three baby squash plants, who were sadly put outside two days prematurely and suffered from some slight frost and high winds. I am not sure why they call this city Stillwater, the water is always choppy from the high winds.
These little squash babies did not die in vain though, I found a fantastic way to keep all their friends safe from the same fate. I dug through the recycle bin and found some plastic water bottles, quart milk jugs, and other plastic bottles. I removed the lids, and cut off the bottoms with kitchen scissors. These recyclable materials are now mini individual green houses for young and quickly growing (yea!) squash and cucumber plants.
