I have your website bookmarked and will be visiting it soon.<br /><br />Sheila: Thanks!<br /><br />Lisa B: I'm not sure what could be wrong. Maybe they aren't being pollinated. When our squash don't get pollinated, they shrivel and get mushy like that. So far, our cukes are doing well. Our spaghetti squash ended up with an airborne fungus AND vine borers, too. <br /><br />We pulled the squash just as they were turning yellow, though, so hopefully they are ripe enough. I read that if they aren't fully ripe, they can be eaten like a summer squash, so we should be ok either way.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-89054591490780833482010-07-25T16:45:09.323-05:002010-07-25T16:45:09.323-05:00I have canned NOTHING!

By the way, how is your cucumbers doing? Ours are acting a little weird, not wanting to turn all the way green before getting mushy. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Picked a bunch of stuff out of the garden today.Lisa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08117238535383493210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-67543442327792838462010-07-25T11:10:36.952-05:002010-07-25T11:10:36.952-05:00Gorgeous canning.

I checked my crab apples but they aren't quite ready to make jelly yet.
