The rain has not hit...yet, and it's 2pm.

I wish our summers could be this cool right through.
It's 63F and gorgeous; dark clouds and a lovely breeze. Perfect working day.

Those look like patty pan to me. Harvest when about 3 inches in diameter (just like regular squash, best when young and tender).

Beer I had a few that would not come up with no sunshine. I re-planted and they are up now.

I planted these seeds that Arielle sent me a few years ago and they were labeled Lemon Squash. However I cannot tell if they are patty pan or scalloped squash. lol And I am not sure when I should pick them. Can anyone help please?

They look like patty pans to me too. I'm no gardener, but I always tell the kids to watch the flower on the end their squash & as soon as it dries up to pick it.

I grow them every year. Yummy with just a touch of butter

 

[Wickedchicken6]

I've never seen them before.
My gardening prowess supersedes me.

Thanks Scg, r o b, and chicki. I have another one that is probably ready so I will try the two smaller ones tomorrow. Tonight we are having a simple squash casserole with onion and butter, salt bbq pork chops and fried potatoes with onions.

I went out, and dusted my chickens this morning. Of COURSE it poured rain all afternoon! Dusting ensures rain even better than washing my truck.
