Wall-o-water Experiment

For the first year we will be utilizing the kid's sandbox for growing all our vine crops. The kids no longer use it and the weeds seem to grow well in there so why not give it a try.
Here's what we will be planting:
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Spaghetti Squash
Watermelons
Honeydew Melon
Yellow Squash
Acorn Squash

First we planned out where we will have our 'hills' and dug down in the sand clear down to the soil underneath. Then filled each hole with dirt/compost/sand mixture.

I've started all our seeds indoors and have some extras. So time for an experiment using our 3 wall o waters. Planted a cucumber, a zucchini and a yellow squash, one in each. This is way ahead of 'proper' planting time for our zone, so we'll see how they do.






Once planted I bunched up the tops of each so those little plants will stay nice and snug and warm in their water tents. Wish me luck!
