Once you see these in your garden it won't be long before you will be looking for friends and relatives to give your zucchini and summer squash away to.

Summer Squash by Bob Timm Zucchini Bloom by Bob Timm

Can you tell which plant is which from these two blooms? They both have large yellow blooms and large leaves. The one on the left is a Summer Squash and the one on the right is a Zucchini.

I planted Crook necked squash and acorn squash.  The blooms look similar.  My Zucchini died during the hot weather.

In general we don't have to worry about a lot of hot weather here Larry Johnston but then again I do keep them fairly well watered to.

My wife likes those vegetables.  As for me, I prefer my veggies to be leafy greens

What a shock that these are grown. All this time I have been getting mine from the store. I thought the store got them from the zucchini factory.

Last year I had so many squash that they were coming out of my ears.  I planted in a different area this year, and they aren't doing well.  However, I'm picking about 4 pounds of tomatoes per day right now.  I have all kinds - Cherry tomatoes, multiple colors of Heirlooms, and Early Girls.  My neighbors love me!

We planted 4 different types as well Myrl Jeffcoat but it may be a couple of week before anything ripens.

Good morning Bob. I would never have guessed these vegetables have such lovely flowers too.

They are beautiful Sheila Anderson and they are really big compared to most flowers/blooms.

Oh no way, Bob! I'm a city girl. Could tell one from the other and probably never will! I don't do anything that gets my finger nails dirty or ruins my manicure!
