fall harvest

 kabocha squash, spaghetti squash, and one little pumpkin

these are the winter squash that i harvested in the middle of summer, but since they're "fall crops", we'll just pretend i picked them today.

5/21/11

you may remember that i filled one of our plots at the community garden with gourds. some of you gardeners probably laughed at me for thinking the space was sufficient. well, i learned my lesson.

 6/26/11

just a little over one month and the space reached full capacity. after that it was a squash hospice. i'm grateful some plants hung on long enough to produce fruit. it's just so hard saying no to some seeds, especially the ones i saved myself. i could really use more space!

    I really have a soft spot for squash and it makes me so happy to see the photo of yours. They're such great shapes and colors. Have you made anything with them?

    Trust me, you will never have enough space in your garden.:) Love that kabocha squash, I might have to try growing that variety ones of these years...I always look at them in the catalogues but have yet to follow through one growing one.

    squash plants are CRAZY! Our poor garden neighbor probably really appreciate our offshoots all over theirs! Your squashes look beautiful!
