Here are some photos of my Amazonka winter squash. The first one is planted in the straw bale and really starting to run. It has set fruit as well. The last photo taken is one planted in my raised bed and doing very well too, but just starting to blossom and has not set fruit. Please ignore the weeds. I need to get out there and do lots of weeding but we have been very busy with the holiday and all. Especially need to (try) to control that old dreaded wild morning glory vine. I hate it but it loves me.
My lemon summer squash (not pictured) has just put on it's first bloom. It was very late last year, too, but worth the wait. We have eaten several Englischer Custards and they are delicious. Tonight I am making our favorite zucchini casserole using 4 cups of sliced Speedy Zuc. We have had lots of it because it is early and prolific....and huge. Lots for the chickens, too.
My very last one is a photo of my Blue Lake bush beans in straw bales. I got them in very late but they look great now and will bloom before long.
