I'm still eating spaghetti squash picked last September. Most of them are about 2.5-3.0 lbs. Three hill got me about 12-14 squashes. I just cooked one, and got 1.5 lbs of squash out of it. I'm not generally a fan of winter squash, but I do eat the spaghetti variety. I have to say that I think the idea that spaghetti squash can replace pasta doesn't make much sense to me. I tried it with tomato sauce, and it just didn't work. I just eat it as a side dish - no sauces, but maybe herbs/seasonings. In spite of the fact that it kind of looks like spaghetti, it's still a winter squash, and tastes like it.

I wondeerded if you knew him gb... I mentioned that we had a friend in the area but didn't give you name. We didn't see the thyme path or the horses (no peacocks or roosters either :-) but we did meet Sasha (a rescued Golden Retriever). I would have liked to have met the horses but I didn't want to ask; since he was kind enough to take the time to welcome unexpected visitors, I didn't want to interrupt his day too much! We spent some time discussing Christmas ornaments with him - some of his antique ornaments were similar to what my grandparents had on their Christmas trees. I would have loved to see more of the property - definitely a place to take Idyll visitors! We will include Mapleton Organics in a future visit! Now that we have the address from the link you provided, we can program it into the GPS thingy... The GPS was a handy 'toy' to have. It did lead us astray a couple of times - but only because we had input the wrong town in the address (e.g. when we were trying to find that house, we thought it was in Fergus so the GPS kept trying to send us south instead of north! Once we changed the town to Center Wellington, it took us to the right place. It was a fun trip!

Hi Stardust! My friend, Storygardener aka Beverly does the central Ohio swap (I help.) We may be coming to yours. We'll have to see as time gets closer. You can check out how we do it on our thread, "Central Ohio Plant Swap and Pot Luck May 15" This is our fourth year and out way seems to work really well. Everyone has a good time and goes home with something and a full belly. We don't worry about what folks bring for the lunch. I figure that the stress of keeping track of how many of what kind of dish is coming is more of a problem than eating dessert for lunch. (One meal of sugar hasn't caused me to suffer malnutition yet!) We do a round robin swap so that everyone gets at least one thing that they really like. You can read the details on our thread. You are also welcome to come to ours to see how we do it. We have folks from as far away as Michigan and Pittsburgh come. Let us know if you have any specific questions. I hope that we can make it to your swap! Happy Spring! Mimi Hope that we can come.
