Do I see a scallop [patty] squash in the bowl at the top right of the photo? I really wish we could grow squash here, because I LOVE patty squash sliced thin, crumbed, and fried crisp like potato chips. Grew up on the stuff. About the only thing in the gourd family that will grow here is cucumbers. Everything else we've tried gets bloom end rot within days after the blooms fall off. The soil here SUX despite my best efforts to improve it. I've put a LOT of lime on it, and it still shows up with a very low pH which is apparently one of the contributors to bloom end rot. It ain't bugs. I've verified that. The flowers bloom, make a tiny fruit, when then just turns black and falls off an otherwise very healthy looking plant. Probably because this place used to be a garbage dump for the city pre 1975, before the county landfill was built, and someone's brother-in-law got permits to build on top of it after the state stepped in to make the counties responsible for rubbish disposal. My yard is like a box of chocolates. Ya never know what ya gonna get when you start digging. One thing is a certainty, though, there will be a plethora of broken glass/pottery.
