Allen, then it does sound as if one could raise more squash in the cooler climates -- once the corn comes in locally, I'll be able to quiz the young farmer about the problem with squash. Of course, he may and he may not tell me the truth.. Years ago my son worked at the farm stand during the summer, and he was incensed that they quietly included all kinds of veggies and fruits which they had not raised themselves. Everyone took for granted that it was all home grown. And my poor son had a youthful vision of a perfect world, which we all know it just isn't..
