Nigel and I noticed while driving down 410, that there was a long backup at the exit for Spooner. I bet it was packed. Nigel would have enjoyed that pumpkin slingshot. All those yummy Delicata, my favorite winter squash! I wonder if you know the name of that squash with the green and cream stripes? One of the Delicata plants that I bought in the spring gave me those instead. I did have one that was really Delicata, but it didn't give me anywhere near enough.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-46074480267845757822014-10-23T07:20:00.248-07:002014-10-23T07:20:00.248-07:00who knew there were so many gourds among us?
