What we planted.
We planted Georgia Candy Roaster Squash, Brussel Sprouts, Leeks, and Sweet Snap Peas.
The only real information I could find about the Candy Roaster Squash is from the website where I bought the seeds. www.rareseeds.com I highly recommend using their seeds! All seeds I have bought from them have turned out great! The Candy Roaster Squash was doing wonderful, until we had one day of frost here. We forgot to cover the squash so the picture below shows you what happened.
This is the only remaining one. Boo! I am so sad about it because it had about 10 baby squash growing on two different vines. This one seems to still be doing okay. It has grown since the frost so I think it might make it! The rest of the vine is all shriveled up as you can see in the picture.
In the next picture are the Brussel Sprouts.
I have been following a video I found on YouTube to grow these. They are starting to produce little sprouts now. I will try to take a picture of them when they get a little bigger. Here is the video I used from YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PilEKvvJHCg. He also does an updated video that I watched.
And the two next pictures are the leeks and sweet snap peas.

| These are Giant Leeks. They are so easy to grow! We just chop off what we want to eat and they just grow right back! |

| The Peas are on their way out but are still producing at least 5-10 bean pods a day. I planted 10 plants but only 8 survived. The beans are sweet and the Little boy eats them right off the plant. |
More Planting Coming Soon...
I am planning on putting some seeds in this weekend. We are hoping to get corn started as well as summer squash and cucumbers. The Little Boys have taken over one of my raised beds for their playing pleasure! So we might just plant straight into the ground this year and see how it goes.
Anyone else planning a garden? What do you have growing??
Future post about making Bone Meal coming up next week!
