Squash!

Today I went out to tend the garden and here's what I found:

The squash looks good for the most part but some of them are getting a little carried away. The large one on the left side of the picture is over 12 inches long, way too big for a tasty squash! Six inches is about where I like to pick them. If you happen to see any around six inches pick them and take them to The Well office for now. It is extremely important to pick squash often so they will continue to produce. Any kind of a lull in the picking and they will slow production in exchange for seed making.

Here are the squash beds to choose from. The bed in the back of the picture contains the yellow squash. There are many more small squashes beginning to form so we'll need another picking probably by Friday!
