We do our squash soup with a mix of acorn and butternut, and cream cheese. Not quite heart healthy but excellent. I think I might add carrots next time but perhaps puree them.

I usually avoid cream cheese except of special occasions. I tend to get burned out on it easily.

We only do that about once a month. Mostly just a baked acorn squash from the garden. We harvested so many in the fall. We have about a dozen of those left.

Tiny. Last year we had four hills of squash, three tomato plants, two rhubarb plants, and who knows how many flower plants. My wife perfected wicking self watering pots that survive the heat admirably. My son put in yet another pond last summer (30 gallons) in addition to the 55 gallon pond that had fish and water plants. This winter we are overwintering four types of pond plants in a bathtub with plant lights. The neighbors must think we grow our own weed, but that seems an almost acceptable thing to do now even in flyoverland.

Nor I. But I see it every once and a while as a volunteer weed out in the neighborhood.

I’m out in the woods. There might have been some planted here but I never noticed it.
