My squash plants…winter and summer…have gone batshit crazy the last week or so.

Top photo is Rhumba winter squash.  The next photo shows the three winter squash I have planted in this bed…Rouge Vif d’Etamps pumpkin, Rhumba and Winter Luxury Pumpkins.

Next photo is Magda Summer Squash…I have three varieties of summer squash planted on the west side of the bed.  Raven, Magda and Sungold.

Last photo is a shot of the bed.  This is an old sandbox that was here when I moved in (I don’t have children) and I’ve been amending it and growing stuff in it for a couple of years but the soil isn’t super great.  It’s better than it was and potatoes have done very well here in the past, and so have cabbages.  This year I amended it with chicken litter compost and the squash are doing well but I have to water almost every day because it drains so quickly.

I plan to train the winter squash up and over the fence so they don’t swallow the summer squash in front :)
