This morning, I picked the first squash from the new squash plot in the community garden. The seeds were planted on August 7. Got about 2 pounds. More squash are coming along. They'll probably need picking Monday.
Squash bugs were running rampant. I had a bottle of Sevin spray in my car, but it was half empty and would only spit and sputter. I am not sure how many bugs actually got a dose. I smashed a bunch of them by hand. I'll get more Sevin on my way to the garden Monday.
Someone has picked the big "volunteer" watermelon from the pea patch (and did not bother to add the weight to my total). I was so disappointed, for I intended to pick it today, myself.
