I tried to pick tomatoes yesterday, but the vines were too thick and a squash vine had woven itself among the tomato vines. Today I went out with a pruner to trim back all the vines so I could get to the tomatoes. I have been watching this squash for some time now. I actually did not plant it. I planted a zucchini. At least that's what the label on the pot said. I think it's a hubbard. I had seen two of these squash (or whatever they are) near the green beans, but when I pulled out some of the vine, I found a couple more. I decided this one was as big as I wanted it to get, so I picked it, along with some tomatoes and peppers.
Terry was in the house and I knew he hadn't seen the squash, so I rapped on the door and was he ever shocked when he saw me standing there with this baby! (Pardon my outfit, I hadn't changed from work except for my garden shoes.)
Twenty pounds! I knew it was big enough.
