It's the end of October, but not the end of gardening yet!

It is nearly Halloween, and the best gardening news I have right now is that, yes, there is an appropriate vegetable to be growing this time of year here. It is a round zucchini varietal, and I am chuffed to see a few that are well on their way!

I have 4 plants in one of those self watering planters from gardener's supply. The roots aren't so big on squash and these plants really love their water. They look like they are doing awesome in this setup. They were planted in the last few days of September. I will definitely add this variety into my seasonal rotation. They are absolutely thriving in my backyard.

I would like to add, I normally have the worst time with powdery mildew on any type of squash, and the problems have been minimal with this "(Cucurbita pepo) (aka Eight Ball, Round Nice)" variety.
