Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

Well, I've come up with an alarming, but brilliant piece of information

 

We have been giving away our surplus squash from the allotment, probably about 15kg of them

 

Well, when I thought about the people we have given them too, and the people they feed, we have probably fed about 50 people with our allotment squash

 

Ok, I know it's only some veg for part of a meal, but I still feel quite proud of Hubby and the work he does to grow so much wonderful veg we also have 8 jars of squash chutney that we have made and there is some squash soup in the freezer. Not to mention all the broad beans, runner beans, French beans, tomatoes and peppers that have been prepped and frozen (with more sat in the fridge waiting for me to do). He does us (and others) proud

Hats off to your hubs Mind you, it sounds as though you are no lazybones when it comes to the preserving of said produce! Obviously a great team!

Well done, the squash family are good value, we have lots of lovely small orange pumpkins for the winter, but only managed 3 smallish butternut squashes this year. We also have 3 larger pumpkins and have had plenty of courgettes.

Well done!

 

WE have a surplus of butternut squash at work and I have my eye on them as they ripen as I want to do my Butternut Squash and Bacon Bake for freezing.

Brilliant work Space Chick (and Space Chap). Lots of lovely produce, I only wish I lived nearer
