I love that burgandy one as well. I have Ruffled Apricot, which I think I mentioned last year. She's been a real beauty this summer. We saw your Ruby Spider at the lily farm and thought of you :) The bloom really is huge!<BR/>Yum, chocolate zucchini cake is delicious! We too have plenty of yellow squash to give away, plus zucchini!! <BR/>I have the same problem with my Gloriosas and end up leaving far too many. But they are gorgeous :)<BR/>My computer is broken at the moment (boo hoo!) so I'm using Hubby's until he kicks me off.<BR/>So glad you got some rain!!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-62406324130458184212008-07-31T14:41:00.000-04:002008-07-31T14:41:00.000-04:00Your squash looked so yummy!

It is now growing madly up a trellis and twining around everything.Flowers are just starting to form.The fruits should be light green and shaped like a small trombone.They taste wonderful steamed and lightly coated with olive oil and a wee bit of garlic salt.TAILS of TANKENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16102156170484072241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-19179624932648788522008-07-30T11:56:00.000-04:002008-07-30T11:56:00.000-04:00Zoey, thanks for identifying my pink Dahlia! Sure ...Zoey, thanks for identifying my pink Dahlia! Sure wish I could send you some of this squash.<BR/><BR/>Jane Marie, I don't stake the dahlias as they have very strong stalks. I dig them up every October and just throw them into a paper grocery bag. I store them in an unheated room downstairs that usually stays between 45- 50 degrees. In early May, I pot them up to get them growing and then plant them outside around the middle of June when the ground warms up. So far, it seems to be working.Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-37924084651682283932008-07-30T09:21:00.000-04:002008-07-30T09:21:00.000-04:00The dahlias are gorgeous.

Do you dig up your plants in the fall, if so how do you store them? <BR/>I used to grow them but had trouble keeping them over winter. I tried newspapers, sawdust, and paper bags. They always turned to dust or rotted.<BR/>Love Xia Xiang, BTW.Jane O'https://www.blogger.com/profile/06426526301234517692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-29949407132782777702008-07-28T18:48:00.000-04:002008-07-28T18:48:00.000-04:0040 minutes gone already?

I have one just starting to bloom now.<BR/><BR/>About January '09 you will be very happy to have that squash in the freezer! My Dad still has not given me any. Maybe he didn't plant it this year. <BR/><BR/>Every time I see yours I get hungry for pan fried summer squash--just a little butter to fry it in and salt pepper.
