What did you do in the garden today?

Have to agree but may be hybrid pumpkin guess till you cut it open
won't be positive

Caramel sauce is yummy @Acre4Me. I’m sure it will be fine. The squash looks like pumpkin but perhaps a Hubbard?

I wondered if it was a Franken-squash, seeds from a hybrid growing something altogether new!
But there are hundreds of squashes I’ve never met...

Won a blue ribbon for the caramels!! Other items - not winners, but that means we get to eat them!

And you were worried @Acre4Me. Congratulations. I think that squash is a golden Hubbard. I think spaghetti squash has a smoother skin. However, I am definitely not an expert.

This is my mystery plant. It was supposed to be your average cuke. Its much more yellow irl.

I posted it in the old folks thread & it was thought maybe a lemon cuke, but none had been pollinated to tell, till this one.

 

[Wee Farmer Sarah]

Mystery solved. Hope it’s tasty.

Garden will be watered but chickens all need it first

It’s nice when a little mystery plant shows up, isn’t it? A little change in the garden, a little frisson of curiosity.

I have no idea if I’m using that word correctly.

A friend stopped by this evening with her 6 year old daughter and I showed them how to get into my garden ( the latch on the gate is NOT very obvious). They will be taking care of my garden for me while I am in Jamaica (July 23 - July 31). Sent her home with a cucumber, a tomato and some eggs that her daughter collected from the coops!
Hubby will be in charge of chickens & turkeys and my friend will be in charge of the garden. Hopefully, all will work out just fine. I pointed out the few eggplant blossoms and told her how I am trying to make sure they don't get knocked off, so hopefully I will have some small eggplants when I get back!!
