THE HARVEST BEGINS...

Summer squash first picking of the season!
This is going to be a bumper crop for summer squash & zucchini...but it won't last long.  We grew a 100' foot row of it, but without herbicide (weed killer) pesticide (bug killer) & fungicide (powdery mildew) .  Without these chemicals, the plants tend to fall victim to just about everything after a few pickings.  But,  the bears always plan for this, and their "row" will be replaced by the giant Jack-O-Lanterns growing in the row next to them.  Much of this crop will be given to meal programs,  a couple food banks.  Hopefully a few folks will be lucky enough to get a chance to buy some.  Healthy, fresh, & yummy !!!  Blu Bear

Both wagons full!
