that is some seriously cool stuff right there. I need to grow butternut squash next year. The buttercup did all right, but I'm getting about a half dozen softball-sized squashes at best.

My garden never did that well, partly it's shady, partly i don't keep at it well enough. We've decided to just support the farmers and growers near us, which also makes me happy.

Mine did well on quite a few fronts, but the shady was definitely an issue. A lot of the stuff I wanted to grow (beets, kale, kohl rabi) just wasn't having it. The tomatoes did well, though, and the brussels sprouts also seem to be thriving.

Mmmm, squash

Hee... that could be dangerous, if someone else has a bunch of squash to get rid of they might add it to the pile. "Have a squash, leave a squash/Need a squash, take a squash"?

That's most dangerous with zucchini. I've heard of people breaking into unlocked cars to leave bags of zucchini.

I've heard of that as well - but I've also heard of people who just grate it and freeze it in 1-2 cup amounts, then throw it into breads and cookies and pasta sauce. Works well.

I've already bought a bunch
mashed with grade B maple and chipotle peppers

mmmm... I either roast it with oil, salt and pepper, or with coconut milk, ginger and Thai chilis.
