Just a little bit of gardening seed joy...

I had saved some seeds from a butternut squash, oh about 3 years ago. I had completely forgotten about them until a couple of weeks back.

I really didn't have much hope that anything would sprout.

At the same time, I planted some old summer squash seeds as well, these were store bought and were at least 4 years old.

Well lo and behold, this past monday they all were sprouted!
