I suspected that fruit was an inter-species hybrid due to it's coloration. There were only about 7 seeds inside that looked normal. The rest were empty seed coats. The seeds didn't germinate.

I have finished harvesting the squash in two fields, and got the fields ready for winter. In another field, there are still squash that could be harvested if I felt like harvesting them.

Here's what some of the squash harvest looked like:

Medium Maxima:


Lofthouse Buttercups:


Lagenaria Squash:


I harvested lots and lots of dry beans: This photo shows about 1/13th of the harvest.


I had a great harvest of runner beans this year. The first great harvest in 7 years of trying.


Some of the okra reached 8 feet tall this year!
