I would cut off the bad looking part at the top of the squash, and dispose of it as a precaution.

So you have finally got to eat some of that squash, and you really liked it. That is super. So glad you enjoyed it.

I ordered from Bountiful Gardens, “Food for the Future, Now:”. I think that is the one you got some time ago. I kept trying to find that book on that website and I was failing to punch on the right spot to get to that book. This one is the beginner one to use smaller spaces to feed yourself for a year. There may be something in that book that leads me to plant something I haven't thought about. This one is number 34 which may not be the one you have but it sounds like it from the way you have talked about this book in the past.

You are a terrific prepper even if you don't call yourself one. You call it a way of life but you're still a prepper - “a rose by any other name is still a rose”.
