Speaking of Squash . . .

Speaking of Squash . . .

Back in June, for my son's 7th grade science project,
     we constructed a rain garden in our backyard.
We planted tomatoes and watermelon, basil and cucumbers . . . and squash. 
We have used the basil, multiple times, in pasta and veggie dishes,
     sandwiches, drinks, and pesto sauce. 

The tomatoes, still green,  are growing and transforming into a beautiful shape.   
The cucumbers have not yet made an appearance, and we are not sure why.
Neither has the watermelon, though, it is not yet time. 
And, any day now, we will be pulling the ripe, yellow squash off the vine. 
Maybe for cooking more frittatas, or pasta, salad,
     or by itself . . .  right on the grill.
