Squash surprise

Plants are truly the craziest things. I've been watering two enormous pots of squash plants all summer. They continually have tons of blossoms, but I've never seen a squash on the plant.

Yesterday I watered again after work (it's been brutally hot here this week) and to my total shock, I saw this little guy growing:



The plant had turned itself a bit because of some wind and suddenly I noticed THIS:




It had been growing there all along! My plan for tomorrow's dinner is some stir fry with homegrown squash. It looks like there are more where this guy came from...

    That is so cool that you were able to grow squash in a pot. I have one squash plant in a pot and it has yet to grow any squash. http://nycgardening.blogspot.com/
