Got back last night, and other than my son did not understand we had a hose and we needed to keep the bottom portion of the box full of water, the plants continued to thrive. Disappointed with the seed I used for the zucchini. I had never tried to grow this particular kind before and I am extremely sorry I did. I had very poor seed germination and I am also having the same problem with the okra. It looks like I have to let the seed germinate inside or put them in peat starters to get the seeds up for good growth.
Now, the good news is the patty pan squash are about 4 to 6 inches high and with many leaves. Great growth for such a short time. Some of the okra is up and all of the cukes and beans are up. The tomatoes now stand about three feet high and are loaded with small tomatoes.
