Our little punnets of beans, zucchini and pumpkin are growing quite big now, and are very ready to go into the ground.
The problem is I don't have anywhere prepared to plant them, and if I do manage to plant them there is a good chance that we wont be around to harvest them (the joys of renting). I only have about an hour a day to get outside by myself when I am home and I know that it's unlikely I'll be able to get a nice little garden bed prepared in time to plant them before the seedlings choke in their tiny punnets.
I don't want to just toss them, I'd feel like it would be such a waste.
So... should I put in the hard yards to dig out these Agave, dig out the rubbish in that area, feed the soil and get these plants into the ground, or do I pass these seedlings on to someone else who can accommodate them... or do I chuck them into my compost bin?
As sad as it might be, I think the best option is to give them away and only grow plants that I can contain in pots and transport easily for now.
Gee wiz. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to my children!
UPDATE:
Yay! In a fabulous twist of fate my seedlings are going to be off to the Faulconbridge Crop and Swap! How awesome is that! I can't go myself as we have been invited to a wedding, but a fabulous likeminded local individual will be taking them instead.
I love our community :)
