Today we got a warm sunny day. Tomorrow it may very well hail, but today it didn't, so the cucurbits came out of the freezer.

 After weeks and weeks of waiting for what was supposed to be the last frost, I've decided to go ahead and plant my cucurbits in pots for transplant, and keep them in the living room until the weather stabilizes. 

It took a trip to Steubers for an extra 75 pots and a brick of cocopeat to get started. I ended up planting all my seeds since I've never grown melons and squash before, and figured I'd kill most of them. With that reason, and the weather not being quite suitable for heat loving cucurbits, I thought better safe than sorry.
Armed with my 'good morning grumpy' mug full of chocolate chips, I sat on the front stoop and planted 100+ pots of cucurbits. Win! And the living room is now full of plants again @_@
