Overcrowding is not just an issue in big cities.

It's a problem in the country as well... Particularly when you plant a bunch of seeds in a little indoor greenhouse and do so with zero idea that they're going to grow like they're on steroids before you can get them transplanted. Then there becomes an issue of NOT enough space for them all to be transplanted.

Today, LD and I planted not quite half of the seedlings into our "bucket pots" - We've now got a pot of squash and peas:

And a second pot of a different kind of squash:

But, we're also now faced with this dilemma:

These are the "wayward" extras of both kinds of squash and the peas (in the middle). Looking at our forecast today shows no freezing temps at night looking ahead 15 days... I think I'm going to watch the forecast a few more days and if that doesn't change I'm going to do an experiment.... I'm going to plant these little "extras" around the property.... see what happens in various locations - do they get eaten by the wildlife? Do they produce any produce? Should be interesting!
