Zuchini Squash Grow to Mature Size

Two zuchini plants survived the soggy summer and the vegetables are finally ripening to a mature size for picking.  If I had built tents over the tender starts back in May, using hoops of thin PVC pipe and Visqueen, we would have had a lot of squash all summer.  The tents will keep the plant warm at night, and can be pulled back during the day.  Maybe I’ll try that next year.  Meanwhile, my zuchini are looking good!

More tomorrow,
