I went to the allotment this morning and picked my first Moonbeam summer squash. It had grown in size
after the rain weve had!!

Best picked smaller than this, they loose their taste as they get bigger, up to 3 inches is best, and early picking promotes more fruit on the vine, it is a great picture and squash ,,well done.XX Jeannine
