Rows of summer squash.

Red Kuri winter squash.
Well we did manage to grow summer squash. The winter squash grew but we never did get a successful harvest. The plans for a watering system never worked out all summer. The hole I dug to try the sandpoint system became the local watering spot for the bees and I never did get back in there to finish the job (I jumped in one day to work on it without looking and about 30 bees flew up and out of the hole, after that I left it for them). I would haul water from the local well into the storage tank when I could, but that wasn’t really a sufficient amount of water for the garden.
The summer squash were harvested for several weeks and gave us an opportunity to sell them at the farmers market.
