I arrived home last night from an 8 day vacation. Prior to leaving, I have been going out every day to pick the summer squash, as they grow so fast.

Look what I arrived home to! There were six of these monster squash! Just 8 days and they are GOLIATHs! The biggest squash is 18" long and 13" in diameter at the thickest part (see photo).

I do think they will be too tough to eat but they sure are impressive to look at. I wonder what would have happened if I had been gone longer?!?
