You are such a committed gardener! I am impressed. Your garden looks great. I have been cooking with different squashes all week and loving everything I am making. I got mine from my CSA cause my graden squash didn’t make it either.

I would have done the same thing. Did you ever fix your soil problem? I hope you did. No one should be without their favorite squash.

Daphne,

I continue to enjoy your writing. The rest of the garden looks truly amazing- I wanted to eat those raspberries right off the page! I cannot wait to share the plight of your chemically imbalanced soil with my Master Gardener In-Laws who arrive this week. Please follow up with the results from your soil test!

fresh stringbeans: had them yesterday, unbelievably yummy. Deep fry probably for 30 secs – 1 minb, then stir fry with sliced garlic in wok like apparatus. Wow. Even Mom agreed. No take-homes from those. DAD

Perhaps there is some medication that you can give your soil to correct the imbalance?

Ok – I don’t want to damper the mood further – but in terms of butternut squash pasta – I’m going to suggest a complete separation; an abrupt about-face! We use sweet potatoes and yams instead of the butternut. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the ol’ butterboy as much as the next gal in cowboy boots – but there’s room for all sorts of starchy love out there….

Here’s hoping the soil scientists will find any imbalance you or your garden may have If not, maybe you can start some kind of clinic/support group for “gender challenged” squash.
BTW, I made your peach cake last week and it was awesome!

I absolutely love butternut squash. I made some ginger butternut squash soup last year and it was delicious!

Here is to hoping that those crazy scientists (I guess it takes one, to know one*) test your soil appropriately and figure out how to cure your kick-ass garden.

* I mean me, I’m a crazy scientist, although I know nothing about soil
