How long will the Delicata squash keep? @First_Warrior

At least a couple of months on a bed of straw in the garden shed.

How did you hold up to the storm @First_Warrior
Saw some bad things up your way.

My son's first harvest.

Finally got power back in time to roast a few trays of tomatoes to make sauce. Buzzed these up with fresh basil.

ShawnOL

Why are they not round. Different.

Yakster

Roma tomatoes? Good for sauce.

ShawnOL

I thought they may have just been left on the vine longer.

Yakster

Naw, they always look like that.

First_Warrior

Right, Romas are sauce tomatoes with very few seeds and lots of tomato "meat".

You don’t hang them upside down to dry and cure?

Rdp77

Need to figure out what that guy back there is doing 🤣

I used to hang the entire plant years ago but there doesn't seem to be a consensus these days.
That's all open desert by the orange arrow, a few javalinas are about all you get back there.

That's just desert growth Rusty, apparently they have tagged it for a little trimming, I just missed the javalinas.

Still getting chard, kale, collards, sugar snaps, radicchio, arugula, and lettuce from our garden. Picked this AM.
