I'll try to get pictures soon (keeps raining, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it) but I finally got winter squash in the garden yesterday:
2 spaghetti squash
1 "carnival" squash
1 "table ace" squash
1 Buttercup
and, sadly, only one
1 Butternut squash (everyone was out!)
We already have one yellow crookneck summer squash and several cucumbers in, and I may replant the volunteer squash plants that came up in a yet-unfinished bed from my compost.
Now I just need to eat the last butternut from last year's crop!

Wow!

Date: 2014-06-16 10:29 pm (UTC)this patch f ground did us very well last year - it hasn't been tilled in pretty much ever and had a lot of natural mulch for decades. As long as we keep adding compost every other year, i think it'll keep giving us way-too-many-squash.
