At about 8:00 AM, I picked 18 lovely yellow crookneck squash, ranging from 4 1/2 to 6 1/4 inches. Put them in the reefer with the 10 more picked yesterday.

Heck, I still haven't finished the last of the ones from Tuesday, and that doesn't include a batch I gave to a old lady accross the street.

Foodhook zucchini and Sunburst "patty pan" types are going full-out also.

Larger "patty pan" called White Bush Scollop put out its first blossom this morning, all be it satminate.

You can let the White Bush Scollop grow to about 6 inches in diameter and use them for stuffed squash. Harvest at 3 to 4 inches and cut into pieces like normal summer squash. These plants have not been as vigorous as the three other summer squash varieties and the seed germination was poor, perhaps 1 in 5, so sow extras when planting next year.
