There's a reason I only eat butternut or spaghetti squash.

I like a lot of types of squash but prefer the winter ones over summer. We used to grow a ton of squash at our big FL garden. We liked the buttercup (not the same as butternut) the best! But just about anything squash is tasty.

I did last year learn that some mini pumpkins are way tastier than squash. My mini Hooligan was so delicious. I grew a bunch this year too. They also take up less growing room so they can climb up my cattle panel trellis without being too much.

we just grew watermelons no squash, i can buy them at the auction and save the garden for other veggies, just finishing the green beans , still have kale, mustard greens, sweet potatoes , peppers, and i think there's some broccoli left

I had to clean my garden out and am tucking everything in for the winter already. I'm getting my other knee replaced next week. So I had to cut my growing season short this year.

I don't know about you OHLD but gardening season is pretty much shot here. Still have some peppers and tomatoes but that will end with the first frost.

It is pretty much at the end here too. We haven't gotten a hard frost yet. I could have left my chard or planted lettuce but have been forced to close up shop early. I pulled up the last of my marigolds today. They were still going a bit, but I had to get it done. My husband will have enough to do, so I'm trying to not leave him any gardening chores this year. Winter seems to coming fast now. It's right around the corner here and so much to get done yet. I will be completely worthless for a few weeks, and mostly helpless for a few months.
