  1. Hi my first time here, i love those little golden squash. We dont have them here. They look like golden zucchinis.

  2. just found your blog and enjoyed all the happenings in your garden - always better in progression than completed! As a Salviaphile, very taken with your S. argentea of previous post(added to wishlist)

  3. Isn't waiting the hardest? I get impatient for my blooms as well. Your garden is lovely. Welcome to Blotanical!

  4. @ Andrea...they are called crooked neck squash in the southern united states...they are super sweet. These are kind of bumpy and harder than the smooth skin..still waiting a little longer before I pick them. I have been battling with bacterial wilt on the leaves and rotting the fruit with the rain we had...now they seem to be overcoming...with as many plants as I have I should get a few "fruit"!

  5. @ Laura...thank you....I am just getting started...I am trying to record my garden in its first year after buying the house...but I want to write more and focus on photos later... You have inspired me to write a ditty on Salvia, one of my favourite plants (although I am limiting myself to hardies only in the UK as I only have mini greenhouses)
