Celeste your blueberries look yummy. I have blueberries myself and just love to go out in the yard and eat them straight off the shrubs. Have all sorts of varieties including Chandler.

Your summer squash looks great too!

I have four plants of yellow summer squash. Mine is Golden Egg which I grew from seeds from Burpee. I also have Buckingham yellow zucchini. It is okay but I don't think I will have it again next year. Much prefer my green zucchinis.

Then I have lots of plants of various green zucchini. My favorite of them is so far is Cavilli. Light green Cavilli is a Parthenocarpic Zucchini. Meaning no pollination required.

But since I get Squash Vine Borers here, I start new plants to have healthy ones comming along. So Cavilli, Elite and a no name green zukes are producing while Caserta and Green Tiger are much younger plants that are not flowering yet. So we will see what I think of those varieties after fruit set.
