Calling all Connoisseurs of Squash

Hello there, Ladies and Gents! It is, I, Christina coming to you with a slight dilemma.

You see, every year since I have owned my house, I have planted a vegetable garden. And every year, I plant the same general things:

  • corn
  • beans
  • squash
  • zucchini
  • tomatoes
  • pumpkin
  • eggplant
  • peppers
This was taken in May or early June….everything was nicely spaced out.
This was taken July 13, 2020….everything is healthy and growing quite large! No extra space to be had!

I also try my hand at some miscellaneous items like attempting to grow fruits. Last year I grew watermelons and cantaloupes. This year, I planted 3 cantaloupes and only one took. Luck of the draw, I suppose.

NOTE: if you do elect to grow fruits of the melon variety, be warned. They like to creep and sprawl out. They need their own area, otherwise they will overtake your garden.

So, I bring you my dilemma.

I planted 16 or 17 eggplant plants, 3 yellow squash plants and 6 zucchini plants.

I have squash coming out of my ears!

The eggplant hasn’t yielded fruits yet, but I see some emerging, so I will soon have the same problem with eggplant!

Throw me your best recipes for what to do with all the squash and things to do with eggplant! I am all ears!

Also, if you happen to make squash flowers, please send a quick recipe my way for those, too!

I want to hear from you!

Happy Summer and Happy Gardening!
