first squash

I am so thrilled that the weather is finally cooling down.  Not only is it easier to ride my scooter in cooler weather, but plants actually grow.  Something about dropping below one hundred degrees triggers happier plants.  My grapevine looks bad; it’s the time of year that the bugs eat it, but everything else looks great.  I have some corn that might produce something, and my native american squash seeds grew into a beautiful vine that produced what I think is an acorn squash (see photo).  The vine is doing pretty well on the lawn.  I guess grass is good for something.  I’ve planted my seeds for lettuce, kale, carrots, bok choy, chives, and more.  We’ll see what grows-I’m not really one for labeling or designating.
