Squashes in my yard
Posted on August 5, 2017 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
These are butternut (left) and spaghetti (right) squashes. They grew from seeds on my compost pile.
I really have to be careful what I plant, because everything grows!! I just stuck seeds in the ground!!
The deer don't bother the squashes, only the leaves. So if they leave enough leaves for the plant to survive, we will have a few squashes. They are worth the trouble. I'll post how to use them in the recipe section.
HAPPY GARDENING!!

Do you have a favorite way to prepare those in a meal?

Deer eat all of my cucumber plants, leaves and flowers, do you experience that too?

Yep!! That's why cucumbers are protected inside a fence. We only plant outside the fence what we don't mind sharing with the critters.
