Pumpkins, Squash and Sugar Snap peas

We've sowed pumpkins and squash recently. They cannot be sowed in trays, because the seeds grow very fast, so we've used 9cm pots. I'm really looking forward to their germination. It's such fun to watch them develop! Last year, we only had summer squash. I really wanted pumpkins this year, but because we only have a tiny garden, I've chosen mini pumpkins. I'll try to let them grow onto our wooden frame.


The varieties we're trying this year:
*Mini pumpkins (what's with the names?):
- Wee-B-Little
- Baby Boo
- Sweet Dumpling

*Squash:
- Gold Rush
- Western Sunrise
- De Nice
- Yellow Scallop
- Sunburst

Our Sugar Snap peas are becoming bigger. It has rained a lot lately, and it's doing them much good. However, I think that a few sunny days would also make a big difference. I will soon be placing trellis, so that they can grow up. I'll post the pictures when I'm done!
