Nope, I have disappeared from the blogging world; I’m just swimming in squash. Actually, my other job has been quite busy and keeping me from crafting, weeding, preserving, and writing. Sigh. Hopefully, I’ll be back to creating projects and writing up posts this month.

Lest you think I’ve not been dwelling well at all, I have an update on the garden, specifically the squash trellis I wrote about in this post. Looking back at that photo, I hardly recognize the area. Winter squash vines are now growing up, around, and over the structure, with pumpkins, Delicata, and butternut squash hanging from the sides, and in the middle (that picture didn’t turn out well).

This week we’ll be harvesting more than a dozen squash and storing it for the next few months’ eating. Thankfully, winter squash stores well in a cool, dry place. The pumpkin I’ll roast in the oven, puree, and freeze (it cannot be safely home canned) for pies in November.

Several readers have mentioned making their own trellises. I hope yours are growing well too!
