It is the time now in South Texas to plant Squash of all kinds.  I am planting some summer squash in this bed.  I have 4 different kinds that I am trying out.  I am really interested to see how these scallop squashes turn out.  I have never grown that type before.  One of my favorite veggies on the grill are summer squash.  I eat zucchini like crazy in the summer and really like them.  Im hoping for a huge harvest.  And the best thing is, these are plants I can secession plant multiple times throughout the summer since they grow so quickly.  They will produce a ton of fruit, but succumb to disease really quickly as well, especially in the hot and humid climate I live in.  But I will have more plants ready in another month and a half to replace these.  

When planting squash, remember they are very heavy feeders.  So make sure you add lots of granular fertilizer for them.  and replace the fertilizer many times throughout the season as they use it up quickly.
