Diary 9/18/12

Beware of planting too many summer squash plants!  This is what I harvested off of two zucchinis and one yellow squash plant this morning.  Too many to eat?  Just cover with a damp tea towel and re-wet daily to keep squash fresh.  Refrigeration tends to dehydrate them as does storing on a kitchen counter.  They get rubbery when they dehydrate. Though are still useful in soups and such, this wet towel gives them just enough moisture in their vicinity to keep them happier.
