My squash bed seems to have grown rapidly overnight. When I looked under the leaves I was really surprised to see so many ripe zucchini and summer squash. They were just tiny little things the last time I checked, which was only a day or two ago. I even have some winter squash starting to form. I didn't expect to see them so soon!

A winter squash. I bought the seeds in an assorted pack,
so I'm not sure what kind it is yet. Spaghetti, maybe? |
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this abundance of squash. I've already made
crock pot chili and
zucchini brownies, and there are still plenty of leftovers. We'll be eating squash everyday for the rest of the summer!
The same goes for beans. I peeked under the leaves and couldn't believe how many were under there! I planted the beans in intervals, so some plants are in full production, while others have just sprouted. I don't have any recipes for them though. In fact, I don't even like them cooked, so I just eat them raw.

My pea plants reached the end of their fertile days, so I ripped them up and planted new ones. I'm not sure if it's too late to plant them, especially since I planted the first seeds back in April. A couple plants have sprouted, so we'll see!
