Summer Squash

Summer Squash, you either love it or hate it. Though there are many different varieties the most common are zucchini and yellow squash. My particular favorite is Yellow Crookneck. It has a great sweet flavor. It is best when picked young while the skin is still soft.
Growing squash requires lots of sun and damp soil. I fertilize mine with my lawn fertilizer. It seems to work really well. Picking the squash also keeps your plants producing more and more.

Hopefully this blog will be attached to my website at www.lynnsaysgarden.com so please feel free to visit.
