I pulled up most of the squash vines even though we haven’t had a killing frost yet. Or any frost. The mild weather makes me uneasy as it brings global warming home to my yard and garden.
I think I’ve had more squash in past years. This year we got a lot of rain. I wonder if that made a difference. Four pumpkins (New England Pie) from the Community Garden, and two from home (Winter Luxury, I think). There are several more pumpkins in the home garden that have not turned orange yet. What are they waiting for?
Some nice buttercup, very substantial. And a few Red Kuri, so bright and shapely. The delicata and butternut harvests were definitely sparse. Not that I’m wishing for tons of squash like I had cucumbers. But the productivity of the garden plants is something to ponder.
