Today I made the first harvest of winter squash, three large fruits from a vine I did not plant. I suspect this is from composted seeds from last year's kabocha, though it's more orange than I remember. In any event, it will get roasted just as soon as the seasons cool to that place where roasting indoors is pleasurable.
I also harvested a large bundle of kale, enough for enjoying this evening along with several quart packages for the freezer.
That's what I made today. Peace.

AUTUMN ALREADY!?!
BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN HALF-PAST SUMMER!!!
(Well... at least not in my world, LOL!)
What can I tell ya Vin? These winter squash were ripe for harvest. Mama nature *knows* stuff! :)
I wish it was autumn already here! Beautiful :)
Oh, it's still summer here mama! :) Plenty more winter squash to come. These were just the early compost-risers!
I love a good squash- and it's fun to see one pop up where you haven't planned!
I looooove the colors! I am soooo ready for fall! No rush... but I am ready!
My squash are huge too. But I think it's August, I cant harvest them yet!
OMG, it's already Autumn!
I hope you keep showing your harvest and what your are creating with that wonderful bounty. I keep wondering how your squash ripened so early. Guess it was our heat wave type of summer..and from the compost makes it even more exciting. How I would love to see your compost.
those are beautiful
Yum! I'm so jealous, we neglected our garden some this last year. And I really wish we had gotten squash in instead of beans! :)
i love the orange color!
awesome - surprise vines are sometimes the best
I just love seeing what you are harvesting.
I had some squash like this one year in my compost. I had to use an ax to open them!
