Funny thing is, I spend quite a lot of time trying to grow some decent squash of odd varieties.
(mostly without any success)
So I’m on my back porch yesterday and I see this small orange flower coming up in my backyard and I’m thinking dandelion until I go over to it and it’s...
SQUASH!
Heck, it’s almost November, too late...
But still! Damn!!
I hear that. I wanted to grow just a couple of pie pumpkins. Planted three mounds in a bin of compost three times before the weather cleared enough for a planting to sprout. Around mid-July a volunteer pumpkin plant started up in this year’s compost pile and is now the only plant to survive the two mild frosts I’ve had. No time to mature a fruit though.
