Garden journal: blue Hubbard bonanza!

Our summer squash seeds moldered in the ground due to the cool, wet spring. We had two blue Hubbard plants survive. The mice love the squash.

We noticed in time and perched the squash on top of a 5 gallon bucket.

We made squash pie and squash pasta sauce and fed them to friends visiting from Washington.  The friends are gone but we still have squash. May make squash soup tomorrow. It will be rainy (again!) and cool. Blue Hubbards save well when they haven't been sampled by the mice. Good thing we like squash!
