The whole family just picked about a bushel and a half of acorn squash. I had done a “Three Sisters” thing with my Glass Gem corn this year, planting squash and corn in alternating rows so the lush foliage of the squash vines would shade out any weeds around the corn, and planting pole beans between corn plants so they could climb the corn and feed nitrogen to it at the roots. I’ve been picking beans the past few days, and I think we’ll eat all of them ourselves. Frankly, we could probably eat all the squash ourselves, too, over the winter, but with so many, I’d be happy to sell some. I’m not sure where we’d keep so many.
