Squash (Summer)

31' 11"1' 11" x 1' 11"This poor little squash is struggling. It is still about 6 inches tall and wide where many others are enormous and producing. We'll see, the squash itself looked so interesting, but I'm not sure this one can catch up. 8/3 still very tiny 8/31- one tiny squash which looks beautiful!! But only one. Perhaps its not hot enough here in Oregon (although this has been the hottest summer yet, most days over 90 deg.
