You writing that today ... I took the stovetop off our stove to degrease it earlier today.

Whenever I get caught up on the outside stuff today, I'm going to start a thread about Rosemary. I'm pretty sure there is an herbs section here.

Decided I dont feel like smoking meat today.
I took the meat out it is cured and tried some and it is good.
I dried it off rubbed it down with insta cure #2 and packed it in ice cream salt.
Back in the refrigerator it goes to get rid of the moisture.
Will overhaul it in the middle of the week with new salt and do this smoking thing next weekend.
Just in time for a brisket bacon BLT later if I get a tomato from the garden.

I think that squash also include zukes which is a summer squash.
Then there is winter squash aka pumpkin.

Worth, have you ever grown winter squash? The squash bugs here are beyond horrible. That's why I'm only planting six mounds of summer squash in one raised bed. I'm hoping I can keep a better eye on them and spray them with dish soap water fast and often enough.

Not often I have once or twice in the past.
Not a big fan of winter squash.
No that I dont like it I just dont bother growing it.
My favorite is butternut.
I had a big vine and only got one squash.
No bees no fruit set.
My favorite squash it yellow crook neck and flying saucer.

I have 4 tobacco seedlings and they are not volunteers.
It has been the most challenging to grow them. You need to have a magnifying glass to see the seeds.
And the most slow growing. Now I understand why tobacco is not cheap. I pay $15 per pound for some generic pipe tobacco in the tobacco capital of the world. In WA it cost $25. This is despite the fact that pipe tobacco is not as heavily taxed as cigarette.

I picked up some national pickling and Boston pickling seeds plus some flying saucer squash seeds on the way home from work.
Have no clue where I am going to plant them.
Well yes I do.

I've got some extra tomato plants that I'm going to plant out in the woods just to see if they'll grow in almost complete dappled shade.

Are flying saucer squash these? http://www.johnnyseeds.com/vegetable...seed-2953.html

they will grow, but wont set fruit and if they do it will ber till you want to chop them down. tried, failed... you may get lucky early in the season with a few ripe fruit though.

I have grown some of those called Scaloppini (?).
Didn't like the much. I think back and remember that they were too tough.

BTW: All okra seedlings planted out today:
LA Green Velvet
Baby Bubba
Emerald.
