Usually, winter squash are grown during the summer. They are called winter squash because you can keep them in storage during the winter....

Excellent point Marianne! That may be part of our gardening problem--I think we start too late in the summer. The bugs have been so bad here this year, though, so anything we planted during the summer got eaten up!
Hmm, next year, you might try some companion planting to confuse the bugs and tunnels also help with that....
Thanks for the tips! Until then at least we have a really fantastic farmers market right near us with lots of local farms represented! :)
that is almost better - less work :)
