Garden Harvest

This year's garden has been a little bit off because of the late start and early season neglect it received from us still being in Winston-Salem through the end of June.  However, all things considered, it came around eventually.  Most things are dying back at the moment and I have done much of the fall harvesting already.  Here are some pictures of the fall squash and popcorn from the garden this year.  The popcorn did not perform nearly as well as it did last year, perhaps because it is a heavy feeder and I planted it in the same spot that it was last year.

Couple of butternut squash and the popcorn set up to dry.
These are mostly gourds sitting on the front porch to cure.  There is also another butternut squash in the back row.  There are two large, orange squash standing upright in the back row....can you guess what kind of squash they are?
Also, Lily brought home a lima bean plant that is currently hiding behind one of those big orange squash....I'll till up the garden in the next couple of weeks and we will give it a go for a fall lima bean crop!
