2023 Compost at 155F
This is the bin I got for all the extra material I needed to compost this year. I didn't want to spend a lot, because most years there isn't even enough material around to fill my small compost box. And if you say, "Just use chicken wire" -- you haven't priced chicken wire lately.

Principle #1: Plant Densely
So what happened is that year after year I would see most of my squash die. So this year I decided to just overplant, and then use the squares where the squash failed for something else. You can guess what happened next ...All New Square Foot Gardening wrote:1. Plant densely. Don’t waste space. You can grow a lot of produce in much less space that you dreamed possible.

Re: Mark's first SFG
My 4 were unusually nice looking, also. I'm giving credit to the cool spring and early summer. Now it's in the 100s for days to come. They have my permission to be cracked, lumpy and disfigured.

Don Qua at the market
Our local Ranch 99 market has a wide variety of things you don't see at most markets. Maybe that just means I'm behind the times and everyone knows about it.
It's called Don qua, and Mr. Internet tells me that it's something like watermelon with white, slightly sweet flesh and a waxy exterior that lets it store for months. Fruits can range from 30 to 50 pouinds.
Which means that at only 79c a pound, one of these fruits would be about $25. I didn't ask. I thought it was interesting that the one could almost pass for a giant zucchini.
