Update & Status

My trashcan-taters are doing very well. While my friend who lives 20 minutes south has potatoes that are flowering, mine are lush and green because I started mine later, and my climate is much cooler than hers. Last weekend, I also added more soil to the can. The green is now to the top of the can and I will water them thoroughly when I get home from work tonight.
My original nasturtium is growing well and blooming while my new nasturtium seedling is looking hardy enough to transplant in the ground.
My loofa seedlings are ready to go in the ground but I must remember to encircle them with old tin cans (tops & bottoms cut out) and copper so the slugs don't get them before they are established.
My sunflower, which claimed to get 3-4 feet high, is now at least 5 feet tall! She's a slow grower, I tell you... A week ago I looked down on the top bloom that was coming out and it still hasn't bloomed yet. I do, however, see that within each leaf node, another bloom is forming. Originally, I thought one bloom to one plant, but last night I counted nearly 10 blooms on this one. I wonder if the seeds are edible or not? I think they are red sunflowers. I'll check my seed pack when I get home since this is the first time I've grown sunflowers.
My tomatillos are blooming and blooming and blooming. But do you think I've seen ONE tomatillo? Nope, nothing, nada. This is my first time growing these as well.
My cotton experiment is going along fine. I have three seedlings in one pot and one seedling in another. They will all get planted out this weekend, if not tonight or tomorrow.
My arugula is all a-bloom and to any regular Joe, they look like weeds. I enjoy the yellow flowers, both visually and as tasty snacks. I harvested more yellow crookneck squash the other day and we had them for dinner. I now have a Bennings Green and another crookneck that are ready to be consumed. I also harvested 3 small heads of brocolli before they went to seed as my other brocolli completely bloomed the other day. I at least wanted to get SOMETHING out of these, my first seedlings of this growing season.
