Over achiever squash plant

We have a squash plant taking off and growing faster than the others.  Wish I knew what is making this happen! The others are all doing well ~ you can see them right next the big one ~, but this one is like a plant on steroids.  Crazy!  It is so big, it is shading the lettuce so we may have to find it a new home.




The squash blossoms are really pretty!  Yesterday I saw them being sold at the farmer's market.  Who knew you don't have to wait for the squash?  Apparently there are tons of ways to fix and enjoy squash blossoms!


Hoping to harvest some squash soon!

  1. I'm jealous! Our squash puts out gorgeous blossoms which promptly fall off and then no squash! This may be the last year I attempt squash. Yours are beautiful!

  2. Stacie, We'll share! Have you tried any of the squash blossom recipes? I saw one for squash blossom hushpuppies. Mmmm! : ) Maybe your plants are just trying to produce the new "in" thing for you. I'm thinking squash blossoms are trendy!
