the last couple years i've had a hard time getting a decent squash crop because gophers
and pill bugs will ruin any part of the plant or fruit that makes ground contact. this year i grew the plants in nursery pots set into the ground under the drip line and trellised the vines. it worked out really well.
the following two photos show the plants growing up their trellises in july (the amber light was provided by the ferguson fire).

| kabocha squash |
 |
| banana squash |
today's harvest:
 |
| lost label, possibly hubbard or mixed maxima from saved seed |
 |
| kabocha and sweet meat |
 |
| pink jumbo banana and scarecrow |
i think we'll be eating well this winter.
