Fun With Squash

I went to Summerwinds Nursery yesterday. What a gorgeous nursery! The first thing that caught my eye was a table of the most gorgeous yellow Begonias and I'm kicking myself for not buying one for my new teacup pot. Ah well, I was shopping on a budget and I'd really just gone there for squash.

Mystery squash. I think it's a zucchini variety.

I was pleasantly surprised by the assortment of vegetables and herbs. They had both summer and winter squash. I bought a Bennings Green Tint summer squash, a Sweet Dumpling winter squash, and a squash without a tag in it that I think I got from the zucchini squash flat.

Our bush beans aren't doing so well, but it's our fault. We tortured them before we transplanted them. I planted the mystery squash in with them. That's it added in to this bed in the back.

 The Roma tomatoes are surviving their early summer transplant and doing well.

The cherry tomatoes are also doing well.

Our daily strawberry haul.These are two different varieties, and we don't remember the name of the smaller strawberries. We're going to find out, because they have ten times the flavor of the larger ones.
