Our garden is not a very large one, and it probably doesn’t get the attention it needs, but we still plant one every year.  This year, I managed to get a few things planted earlier than usual.  
Late this afternoon, when I was watering, I found this.  It’s a crookneck squash, our first vegetable of the season.

  
I plant squash partially because I like them a lot and partially because they can survive a certain degree of neglect.  If only the groundhogs will leave them alone…..
