So here's this thing.
The Internet says to harvest when the rind is hard enough that it can't be pierced with a fingernail. And that is definitely true--but maybe I have weak nails? A good number of the plants are turning yellow. I thought it was squash vine borers, but it isn't. With those, the vine wilts overnight, but these are just turning yellow and brown and dying off slowly.
So I think I'll have some spaghetti squash this weekend!
One thing for sure--if I'm ever going to get any ranchera sauce it needs to be made this weekend. Next weekend I'll probably be out of town and everything will probably smash, rot and die.
I only had two Roma tomato plants; I'm pretty sure I planted four but at least one died. That's okay--I'll make it with what I have, but it's a shame--the celebrity and other "eating" tomatoes have way too much juice in them.
Dog report--today she stepped into her own harness. I don't know if she's eager to go for a walk, a slave of routine, or desperately anxious to do what the scary human wants, but whichever it is, I truly think one of these days she's going to figure out how to put her own harness and leash on.
All I'll have to do is say, "Let's go for a walk," and she'll be dressed and waiting for me.
