I'm a bit squashed out

submitted by ParnellsUprising to Gardening 9 monthsJul 14, 2023 23:19:14 ago (+9/-0)     (Gardening)

I've sauteed it, stuffed it, baked it, fried it, boiled it, and even given a shitload to neighbors that are even now avoiding me.

About the only thing I haven't done is pickled it, which as much as I used to like squash, I don't see myself having an appetite for this veg in the next 9-12 months.

Time for the fucking squash to go. Not to mention, I think I have enough spaghetti squash if I do have an inkling for fucking more squash.

Tomatoes, not so much, too much rain so I couldn't give the plants a nice fertilized lime bath until too late, although it is showing promise now .

Starting to get a crop now, but I believe it is going to be poor showing this year. Just in time for the hornworms to make their presence known.

Even planted some watermelon this year in the back, hoping someone would try and steal that shit. We shall see if the trap works.

Have you tried stuffing/frying the blossoms?

Yes, and they are delicious. I don't get in there enough to nip them in the bud I guess.

Go ahead and make some squash pickles.
At some point this fall, or winter, you will have a huge craving for squash pickles. If you don't make some now you will regret it later.
I've been through this several times.

Whatever you do, do not poison them and leave them at refugee centers. That would be bad.

Yep, even did some lemon poppy squash muffins, which came out pretty good.

You really have done everything there is to do with squash.
