Some of the recently picked acorn squash from my garden.
I've eaten a few myself already and they are great.
I gave this picking to my wife for her restaraunts buffet.
That's where most my veggies go this year as they started a buffet there.
The customers really loved the cukes and cherry tomatoes.
They are alwyas asking her to bring more of the yellow pear tomatoes in.
Do you donate any of your garden goodies?

I made about 20 pints of rasberry jam and about 15 pints and 5 quarts of strawberry jam from my garden this year. The acorn is more stringy of a squash and harder too.

hi grandpa bob oh acorn squash my favorite baked with a little brown
sugar and margarine. so good. we always grew so many veggies we could sell
some to the townspeople too. squash, sweet corn and tomatoes were the biggest sellers then zucchini came next. in the fall we sold a lot of our
apples too. of course my mom canned a lot of everything so we had good
eating in the winter time.

Yes they have here as well.
I might have picked 50 to 75 so far this year.
I have 4 plants total planted.
I love it though.

I don't donate exactly. I give surplus to my neighbors, friends, & co-workers who could use the items. I would love to make home made salsa w/ my excess tomatos but I don't have any freezer containers or spare cash for the ingredients right now. :0(

If i had a garden i would share w/my friends but all i have is 2 tomatoes & 2 pepper plants. One of my tomato plants is probably 4' tall & not one tomato do i have, lol.
