approachable radicalism is all well and good, but let me get back to what this blog is really about for a moment: SQUASH! and WORMS! the other night i begrudgingly cooked a spaghetti squash from my winter stash. i haven't craved a squash since last october and the numbers in my stash haven't exactly decreased by themselves, so i'm challenging myself to eat all of them before i'm inundated with another round in a few months. i scooped the seeds and guts out, thinking, "mmm, yummy worm food," and into the worm box it went.
five days later.....
ALL the seeds germinated! i opened the lid to find dozens of six-inch-tall, pale yellow squash sprouts taking over my worm box. it was a squash forest! i didn't realize that things could thrive in sunless, wormy conditions like that. i plucked a couple out and put them in a window planter, so it now appears that my best laid plans to NOT grow winter squash in the garden have been thwarted by volunteer worm plants.

We have winter squash sprouts, quickly turning into real plants all along the outer edge of our garden. I threw some hopelessly old squashes out there in March and they dune seeded!
And you ate a 8 month old squash the other day? Eww! Were you cooking for your compost potluck?
Will it be attended by other dwarves, hobbits, and elves?
don't make me be a comment nazi.
