Productive weekend....over 3500 pounds of squash passed thru my hands....more garlic got delivered....cut down and chunked two trees for a family in town...grapes were picked, jelly and juice is cooling in their jars ( and there is still one more 5 gal. bucket of grapes to go, it may end up in the compost ).....two out of the three squash patches got mowed down to facilitate vine drying ( Butternuts aren't ready yet )....neighbors stopped by at sundown with a shopping list for three families, had to tell them I was gonna have to put it off till tomorrow nite to fill, as I'm just a little tired.
Maybe when Dave gets time he'll post my latest pictures here.
If you can grow food, you have a cosmic obligation to feed those that can't.

Yesterday: high 97º, sunny, windy. Today: high 55º, drizzly. "Average" high for today 75 and low 51. Forecast low in the upper 30's tomorrow and forecast highs in the 60's from Weds through the forseeable future.
Hey farmer, I'd take a couple of those spaghetti squash if I lived within throwing distance. Mine tanked altogether this year and I haven't yet found anyone with any to sell.
By the way, LisaAnn, posted pix of this season's garlic under "Show your stuff" thread.
MHG, great harvest. No Smile again though!!!! What's up with that?
Right now, I'm getting the Hurricane Hanna rain. A little over 2 inches so far.
Dave,
I haven't gotten to pick a moon and stars yet. One is almost ready. I am waiting on the tendril to dry up and go brown. I can't figure out why yours would have been yellow inside? Odd. They were the same seeds I planted last year, and mine was red. Well, I'll let yet know what I get this time around in a few days.
Now I must go post to Gman. I gotta praise the spelling. The world is becoming a better place!

lisaann, I think I got Moon and Stars seeds from two people. Yours couldn't have gone from red to yellow. I must have planted the other seeds. I didn't mark them.
Muddy knees David! Compost is my friend. Every day I enroll in gardening school. Some days it feels like kindergarten!
** Perhaps ** it would be more lively if you stirred us up a little more. Eh? Anyway, I'll be around more now that it's getting dark so early. Not to mention cold outside!
