seed starts

More seed starting in trays and cardpots today. Not, this time, in order to be ahead of the weather, but to keep them from being eaten by the animals. Last year the birds watched me plant, then came after all the large seeds, and slugs (or pill bugs) got to the tender seedlings that survived. Started them indoors keeps them out of reach of pests until they're big enough to withstand a few bugs.

I planted Canteloupe, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Pumpkins, Watermelon and Corn. The last two unsure of success: last year all my corn failed early (eaten) and I don't have a space assigned to watermelon, this year. So it's kind of an afterthought, but I'll figure out where to put it.
