Time marches on.

I have forgotten what has happened since my last post.  I guess I could talk about squash?  Do you ever have that slightly sick feeling in your stomach, resulting in a message to your brain, that says "uh oh"?  That would be my experience with squash.

I planted my squash from seed.  Little tiny seeds!  Allow this pictorial to tell the rest of the story.

Hello.  Here we are about three weeks after landing in the dirt as little tiny seeds.  I planted six seeds.  They said 4-6 feet apart, but hey, how bad can it be, really?

We went away for a week, and came back to this.  Not alarming yet.  And after all, I was thrilled to discover this:  

Woo hoo - squash!  So exciting!

But then two weeks later, this is what we look like now:  

Yes!  We are the mighty squash plants that will stop at nothing.  It is growing through the fence, and into the sweet potato beds.  And I'm pretty sure that squash doubles in size every day, because we are now eating squash EVERY SINGLE DAY.  I'm not really interested in knowing if anyone in the family actually LIKES squash.  It has become a family duty to Eat Squash.  

Bon appétit!
