The Queensland Blue smothered the butternut squash in the new pumpkin bed. The QBs will need the bed to themselves next year. I didn't get a single butternut - but I got twice the QBs. These brave soldiers need a little while to cure by the window then we'll be eating squash again for a few months. #growyourown #gardening

@MarjorieGotSmaller as a teen I planted something like 5 QBs on about a quater of an acre, and ended up with upward of 50 pumpkins. I ended up selling them super cheap to a friend who was running a road-workers' camp :)

Anyway, the family still jokes about the Year of Too Much Pumpkin.
