Last year I even lost all but one of my butternuts. I've thought about covering the squash and hand pollinate, but that's way too much work!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-39903969758390783682012-06-05T10:19:06.385-04:002012-06-05T10:19:06.385-04:00I plan I trying the first tomboncino squash tonigh...I plan I trying the first tomboncino squash tonight, so I'll let you know how they taste.

So far all the other solanaceae beds seem to be doing fine. Hopefully I can keep it isolated to this one bed and not plant solanaceae for at least 4 years.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-30948371193960686842012-06-05T06:58:19.796-04:002012-06-05T06:58:19.796-04:00Congrats on your Garlic harvest how exciting!

Since winter squash takes months to mature, it's really the only option for us if we hope to get any winter squash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-57979881712188285312012-06-04T20:36:54.959-04:002012-06-04T20:36:54.959-04:00For the most part, those are actually decent sized...For the most part, those are actually decent sized garlic bulbs. And our onions hardly ever size up larger than what you got, so they looked good to me :)<br /><br />The cucs and squash look great! We suffer from SVBs as well. We just succumb. We start our squash seeds in the basement very early to plant out the largest transplants possible and let them produce copious (hopefully!) squash until we're sick of eating it and can barely give it away. Then the SVBs move in and it's all over until next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261494849047025161.post-2311217718149597782012-06-04T17:53:30.080-04:002012-06-04T17:53:30.080-04:00Some beautiful harvests.
