hi gardengirl! (can i call you gg?=) i usually make acorn and butternut squash with butter and brown sugar. the sage adds a really nice flavor. i'm looking for savory ways to prepare it too. i'm more of a savory person, but i love this sweet buttery squash.
lauren, there are some members that add their own art and decorations. it looks so nice. i'll have to show photos of the fall decor!
I love sage, the smell reminds me of winter holidays.
ReplyDeleteNext year I have a plan for a veggie garden, yours looks amazing!
oh yum! Hmm...thinking of doing this for t-giving (and before *wink*). Love your go pic -- so cute! And is that shed at your community garden? It's darling.
