This season’s crop of butternut squash is growing up a metal arbor. The trellis is thick enough to support the weight of the squash without buckling, and the squash are holding on without any help. I’m pretty in love with how well it’s worked.

I’m really posting just to share the picture of the one, little squash, totally stuck in the trellis. He’s wedged in tightly and won’t budge.

He makes me smile. Poor guy.
