My New 35 Days-to-Maturity Yellow Summer Squash

For a smooth skinned squash, the skin is nice and thicker! One of my favorite things about old fashioned warty yellow crooknecks. I think the thinker skin brings more buttery flavor.

Those are looking very good, Brent!

And, to have fun. I have succeeded in having fun and a pretty good squash. Lol. I failed to achieve higher pest resistance, but it can't be perfect I imagine so I'm happy with it. I will tell you that acorn is in the mix of one of the two crossed F1 lines. And no, I didn't buy the F1s crossed.

If you're looking for high pest resistance and are going to throw acorns in the mix, Scarchuk's Supreme might be a variety to use.

Of the CUCURBITS all I have now is CUCUMBER.
They are volunteers that came up from the over grown/ripe cucumbers left behind from the spring plants. There were so many of them but I just kept 5. They must love the sandy soil fed lots of horse manure.
They are the most vigorous cukes plants I have seen . Now setting fruits. I might be able to pick some in couple of days.
