Winter squash! We've had a couple of questions about this crop. It failed dismally. We don't ever irrigate winter squash - it just takes too much land to grow enough for the CSA to make irrigation feasible. Usually it does great or at least pretty good. This year it didn't get rain at key times in its life, and the fruits suffered. For an idea of how bad it was this year compared to others, this fall we harvested 3 pallet bins of squash. Last year we harvested 11 pallet bins from the same amount of land planted. Pretty bad numbers. So, we have some squash right now, but it will only last for a week or so. It is also not very ripe, and small. There will be squash for about 3 weeks of the winter CSA.
