The squash plants are coming along very nicely, even if they are threatening to take over the front yard. Some days it seems we can actually see how much they've grown since the day before! We've now got several squash blossoms. If even half of those turn into squash we get to harvest, we'll have lots of squash for ourselves and maybe even enough to share with neighbors.
The squash was originally intended as a placeholder until we could plant a peony in that spot come fall, but if this little experiment works out, we may end up designating that the squash spot. I'm already considering planting pumpkin there next year so I'll have my own to cook and freeze for baking. And given how much the Chief loves the cranberry-pumpkin bar recipe I found, we go through a LOT of pumpkin now!
