F. spread unfinished compost under the trees a few months ago, and now we have squash and tomato volunteers. I harvested the first squash yesterday - a sad example of a de-hybridized zucchini. Of course, it was still edible, but it had a yellow/green mottled color, smooth skin (don't think the coloration was due to a virus), and it was tender but a bit pithy.
I also planted Festina beans and summer squashes - Magda (Lebanese-style zucchini - my favorite), a dark look-alike, Burpee's Sweet Zuke (need a knife for harvest), Tigress (virus resistant), Zephyr, Precious II straightneck and Dixie straightneck. Plus Butter Scallop, Peter Pan and a second yellow scallop. And round zucchinis - Eight Ball, Cue Ball and Round (a medium-green heirloom)
Today, the first Romanette and/or Romano Gold which I planted last week broke through the soil.
Also planted tomatoes for David's Mom - day before Mother's Day.
