Five squash, a total of 8.5 lb., all from one plant. One squash is still on the vine, it is a dark green, zucchini-like color. Very unusual. Of the five I harvested, three look \u201cnormal\u201d, one is much more orange, and the smallest is one much paler than the rest. Let\u2019s see if it makes a difference taste-wise. My Delicata squash unfortunately never bore fruit and the Lakota squash given to me by my neighbor Lisa produced one tiny squash that was eaten by someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also harvested Swiss Chard and my last little porch tomato. Still growing besides the one butternut squash are kale, chard, and hardy salad greens. No leeks this year, I sadly did not plant any. I have to get my garlic in the ground soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=695%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3179\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C810&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=300%2C237&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=768%2C608&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=1536%2C1215&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?resize=1100%2C870&amp;ssl=1 1100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?w=1873&amp;ssl=1 1873w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ninebyeighteen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/squash-11_3_2021-3.jpg?w=1390&amp;ssl=1 1390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because we might see our first frost tonight, I harvested my butternut squash this afternoon.
