Default Winter squash

I brought in around 150 lbs of squash yesterday from our squash patch (about 40' x 80' ). Lots more to come. I like winter squash because, when hardened off right, it will keep very well in a cool, dark, dry place. Overwinter in most cases. Not a lot of processing for a good food store.

Will probably bring in around 100 lbs of Sun Chokes after it frosts.

Girls have been canning like zombies and there is lots of drying to do as well.

It was a very good year in our garden.
