It's spring somewhere!
How is everyone's garden doing? Or, if you haven't started planting yet, what do you plan on growing in your garden?

I have a couple of saplings of accidental spaghetti squash seeds that sprouted in the squash itself; they've been in my house for way too long and are flowering by the window. Like any parent who has their kid living in the house for too long, I have been wanting them out the door as soon as I can!
The last big frost just finished in my neck of the woods, so planning on planting them today and hoping the garden isn't marshy from all the melting.
Also have some seeds of those "garden gem" tomatoes that people were talking about, a few beans that I got on sale, and some summer squash seeded the other day, so hoping these grow into something.
Once they leave the house, I'd like to see if I can finally properly grow one of those "weedier" herbs. I tried savory during the winter and failed miserably.

I tried growing some herbs during the winter and failed so hard. I even tried growing lavender and that was just awful. I need a better plan of attack for plants.

I definitely want these squash out the door; I think I'm losing a few to fungal/bacteria in one of my planters. I tried copper fungicide for one trough and I'm not sure if it's doing it right, so I need to look into antibiotics at this rate, I think, ugh.
I still have three that are healthy and budding though, so I'm hopeful! I REALLY need to find some good recipes for spaghetti squash though; the one this came from was a gift and I spent the time before trying to figure out what to do with them. At the worst, I guess, my office can get a surplus of produce, ha!
Yeah, herbs are driving me crazy! Everyone tells me things like "mint is indestructible!" and I never get the seeds to get much farther. Technically, savory is supposed to be one of the hardiest things out there as well (I originally found out about it from foraging guides, for crying out loud) and all the seeds sprouted, but it just refuses to go past sprouting! Utter failure on my part.
