Robin, I saved two of them :) They are tiny, but they are yours. I can save more as I work through the rest of the for...errr garden area as the week progresses if you like.
I'll have to re-check those maters; seems to me it was at the bottoms that they were all fruiting so much. If not, I might try that suggestion. I was considering those giant fruits to be a good source of seed - and thank you for letting me know that yellow squash actually turn orange as they...mature (grow wings and fly?)

bugme - Oh I'm sure as the work progresses there will be more fun :) Actually, I do not think that this garden area was technically 'planted'. From what I know, nothing was 'officially' planted as the former caretakers left before sowing. I believe this growth is from the amendments from the horse, chicken, pig, goat and compost areas. with a little help from my birdy friends. Quite frankly, I can't figure out how so many of one particular plant showed up in the area, as it is not that prevalent over the remaining property (the lambs quarters). If anyone knows, input would be appreciated. I believe them to all be volunteers. Some of my hardiest plants have been transplants from my compost pile in the past.

And in my haste to finish last night, I failed to post the 'progress' measurement photo (I was delirious from the adventures, I'm sorry). I can't really get far back enough to give a good scope of the size, but at least you can see that I did, in fact, make progress :) Granted, because I am letting the weeds rot in the field as a mulch as to retain moisture, it doesn't look very tidy; but it isn't over my head!!!

I hope someone will come along and ID the other orange one and the dangling yellow one.
