     :(  i hope you can find a good home for all of them with   
   someone who'll appreciate them and take care of them.   
      
     i finished up one garden last week but didn't get to the   
   next yet.  the weather turned to rain and now snow for a   
   while so maybe next week i'll be able to get back outside   
   again.   
      
     last night we rearranged part of the garage and i got some   
   of the squash inside to see if the seeds/flesh were useful or   
   not.  these were squash grown from some green seeded hulless   
   seeds a friend sent in the hopes that we'd be able to help him   
   make progress on his project of just selecting out the kinds   
   that are the right size and shape.  with only so much room   
   and these plants growing 20ft in random directions it can take   
   some time to go through all the seeds he sent me.  so far i   
   have green seeds that are edible from most of the squash that   
   grew, but the size of the fruits is bigger than what he was   
   after and the flesh of the squash is really blah so it's not   
   edible unless you're starving.  last night two of the three   
   squash i brought in had white seeds and they weren't hulless   
   at all so those i did roast and will eat them eventually and i   
   also roasted the green seeds that i got from the other squash   
   too as those are very good to eat.  the flesh from the squash   
   i'll feed to the worm farm here today sometime along with the   
   part i cooked up to see if was worth cooking the rest or not.   
   not.  decidedly not...   
      
     sorting beans and getting packages sent out to people who   
   requested some.  after the first of the year i'll send out a   
   few more packages.  it is fun and now i have some of my   
   original cross-breeds overseas so at least those eggs are no   
   longer in one small geological basket.  :)
