Yeah jesus that was my worry.

Ahhh BB, that’d be closing the barn door. I have a bunch old window screens that I use for snow or sun protection on occasion, but the forecast and my bones said the nite temps would be in the upper 40’s and it was still raining at 3 odd something in the mourning but at day break .. it turned to wet snow. Not really a freeze, sorta.

It’s dried out now. Not so bad, the peppers and maters look to pull through which is good. I think most of the cucs and cantaloupe are lost but they’re quick growing and its only May. gotta grow more stuff .. yay baby!

Hubbert squash, never heard of it before .. a winter squash, sounds interesting.
It is consistently sweet, and can be substituted for virtually any other winter squash. Just in case you think you’ve never had it, you might want to think again if you’ve ever eaten pumpkin pie made of canned pumpkin. Very frequently hubbard squashes are used in place of pumpkin because of their relative cheapness and similar flavor. They’re a great choice if you want to make your own pie because the flesh tends to be consistently denser than the flesh of almost all but the sugar pumpkins.
Updates and pics and a taste report later would be cool dill.

Fingerling variety? I know usually people use the larger baking kind, but I love fingerlings for Pommes Anna. I grew some blues a few years ago and I liked them a lot. Not real heavy producers but I didn't mind.
