I pulled the last of the summer squash in the big pots (the Dark Star, which did quite nicely). In it's place I planted more beets (sigh!), some Gourmet Blend and a few Early Wonders.
I trimmed a lot more of the Butternut Squash, keeping only ones that were at least 5" long. There are 12 or 14. We'll see which ones make it. The Acorn Squash in the front yard (2 plants) have 6 mature fruit, plus several smaller ones, which I'll leave for now. The ones in a big pot on the back deck (Also 2 plants) have 5 mature ones, with no new fruit coming.
I picked two pounds of green beans, which I froze. The beans appear to be taking a break, not many coming right now. The heat from last week may have set them back temporarily. We have lots of other things to eat, so we won't miss them for now. The Yin and Yang and Black Turtle bush beans are just about dead. There are lots of pods on them.
