Looks like there might be some pesto in your future. I need to do my 2nd harvest today.

Happiness is a surplus of Bennings Green Patty Pan squash. 
Mine went in late flowers just starting but I have 3 months, unless my house sells! Cross your fingers!
These are a few of my Patty pans. Also zucchinis, cucumbers, onions, an eggplant, and potatoes. I have had a lot of all of them!

I believe those are Patty Pan x Crookneck ?
The yellow ones are “Sunburst Hybrid Summer Squash” from Burpee. Billed as resistant to squash vine borer, which is a big problem in my yard. I’m not sure if you have them in your environment, but I have never gotten an acorn squash, hubbard squash, or normal pumpkin because of them. I tried Long Island Cheese pumpkins this year, which should also be resistant, and have three large pumpkins just starting to change color. Never had them effect butternut.
I won second prise for a spaghetti squash three years ago in the county fair. Had like 20 of them that year but haven’t been able to grow one since.

Yes, I made two large mason jars of refrigerator pickles so far. I will make bread and butter pickles hopefully this weekend if I get a chance. I have never been able to match up the cucumber harvest with the dill harvest. I seem to plant dill to early so that it is in flower and seed by the time I need it to make pickles. I started a notebook to keep track so hopefully I will get it right next year.
A patch of dill has colonized a region of my garden, which I find pretty cool.
Do you have a favorite pickle recipe you would like to share? I have about 15 cucumbers I need to use up.
