Garden Addicted
Becky wanted to do the garden this year and one of her choices was the "butternut" type squash. The vines have done their business and are receding. Yesterday she is telling me to enter the pearly yet rusted gates and "pick what is ready". Sounds like a bit of a bail out to me. Nontheless the stout husband proceeds forward! Except I have never in my life tried to preserve a winter squash. My Grandfather would put sweet potato up on fluffy pinestraw. Airflow, out of the rain, under a shed roof. There are not that many really, at most 50 squash. Advice? Remember I am in Alabama where all the humidity from the melting polar ice caps has decided to vacation!
