butternut squash! what an easy and rewarding thing to grow. one only needs protect the ripe squash from the squirrels, as butternuts do no get vine borers. i had 4 plants yeild about 7 squash. (one plant developed blossom end rot.)
hello Em!
ReplyDeletecatching up after a week away. Must be lovely cooking from the gardens... my herbs are good but little else is happening at the moment. We are thinking with a bit of luck a good crop of avocados next year... last year they were fab... this year almost nothing!
great image of the Osprey... enjoy those lovely things still flowing from the garden... I guess you are tipping into autumn!
best Sophie
Great Osprey pic. Wow! That's quite a wingspan! Wish we could see one of those.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice, fat squash. Our daughter's squash and pumpkins got powdery mildew, which killed them off (did I already tell you that?), but there are still some decent fruit that formed before the vines died. She brought us some buttercup squash...our favorite. Haven't cooked one yet though. Must!
