"Take Women and Children Out First!"

Those were the words of our friend Russ from Arizona, as he explained how our new baby squash plant would imminently become this giant monster, that will take over our backyard. Even though this sounds like a bad idea, I can't help thinking about how good the butternut squash will do as a filling inside my home made raviolis.




Unfortunately, my camera wasn't charged during the first two to three days of the seedling's growth. So, much of the documentation of the aberrational growth of the little alien has been missed. Yesterday we transplanted the squash from its growing cube to the hydroponic system. Now we are just sitting in a dark underground panic room, waiting for the arrival of the giant squash. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, really we are just in the beach having some beers, hanging out with some friends.
