Baby Squash

Favorite Pastimes

Baby Squash

 How did this pretty green fruit get inside that little seed? In just over four weeks, a combination of sunshine, rain (lots of it!), good soil, mildew spray, and lots of hard work, have produced a practically perfect squash. The green buds at the top of this picture will produce orange flowers but will not turn into squash. Their purpose is to pollinate the fruit-bearing flowers.

    The earth under the squash looks so rich and nourishing.
