Greetings from Michigan! Our temps are starting to dip here, but no frost yet where I live. I’ve been picking leeks, onions, carrots, chicory/greens, herbs, squash, last of the peppers and tomoatoes here.

Gotta tout the virtues of delicata squash...my first time planting it this year after picking some up last fall at a local farmers market. Very easy to grow, prolific—more fruits per square foot than either my acorn or spaghetti squash plants. Delicious, ‘creamy’ flavor without the stinginess of other squashes...will be curious to see how it stores.

Delicata Squash - I will have to try it. So far I don’t have much luck with squash or melons. The vines always get so sort of wilt.

We had a great crop of cucumbers one year, but since then it has been a struggle.

Table King Acorn has been a favorite over the years, but I usually have to get that at the farmers market. LOL.
