Hurray for blue corn! You're tempting me to try that variety next year. That butternut looks HUGE!
ReplyDeleteButternut squash looks so big! You have had a variety of harvests this week! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA lot of cherry tomatoes there. And finally the corn turns blue. Looks nice. Time for some blue corn tortilla chips and salsa.
ReplyDeleteButternut squash, bluecorn...go on rub it in - no really I am happy and very envious.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy looking the variety of squash you harvested. Wow blue corn! So many treasures from your garden.
ReplyDeleteThomas - The blue corn has been a lot of fun, but I do miss my sweet corn!!!
ReplyDeleteRandomGardener - There have been a few big butternuts and several little guys still waiting to come off the vine! I'm just happy to finally have some winter squash to stash away!
Dave - We just might try to make blue corn chips this year. I'm sure it will be an adventure, but it should be fun, too :-)
Shaheen - I am happy you are happy...if you were here, I'd share with you. Promise.
M-K girl - Thank you! I am very excited about all the winter squash this year...though our summer squash harvest has been very minimal. Not sure what happened, but it's been quite disappointing.
