Ha Ha! You might not say that when everything DIES in my garden - hopefully that won't happen! LOL! The thing is when you are planting your gardens up north, it will already be in the 90's here, and everything will be wilting....... We have to get ours in early, so that we have some produce by the first/middle of July, after that it is just too hot for the plants to produce any fruit.

I can't imagine putting in a garden this early!! We can put in some cool weather plants but I was never into starting this early.
Your garden looks so nice!! I think that the squash that you're looking for is called yellow crookneck. It doesn't have a long vine but is rather bush like. It grows like zucchini.

Yep, that bushy squash is what I need! We have to put in our gardens early because of the heat in July/Aug - the plants just will not produce when it gets so hot here. We try to get it in early enough to get harvest in May/June and then we'll plant again in Sept. for a November harvest.

I found the bushy squash today. It is called straight neck squash and the vining one is called crook neck squash (at least that is what the labels said - it better be right!).
Today I planted the straight neck squash, dill, rosemary, oregano, and parsley.

How wonderful Gayle. Fresh veggies are so delicious. I would love to be able to just go pick what I wanted to eat. Good for you!

Judy, you could probably get some flower boxes and plant a few veggies for you to pick. How cool would that be?

I didn't know that. I don't think that the crook neck squash has much of a vine though. It's what I used to plant. They both taste the same and that's what counts!!!! If you have a bumper crop you may have to mail some out to us!!!
