Sounds like your projects are progressing nicely Monty!

Steve, good luck with the plants next year.

My plants have done wonderfully this summer and producing a ton of squash. Between the few plants I have, I am harvesting 2-4 squash a day. There has been some variability in the fruit shape/size/color among plants and even within plants. I've got 3 mature squash that are resting in the basement and I will harvest seeds for the F2 generation to be grown in 2016.

I've did a couple powdery mildew treatments from the recipe I got here on TV and that has worked nicely to keep it at bay. I've been pleased with the vine health, fruit production, flavor, etc. I was also pleasantly surprised not to lose any plants to SVB with as many eggs as I was picking off in late June-mid July.

Below are pictures of what the vines look like and the fruit I harvested last night.
