Lots of "Yuck Bucket" Squash Growing in the Garden

"Yuck Bucket" is what we call the can we use to collect kitchen scraps to throw on the compost pile. Sometimes a few of the seeds don't get sufficiently composted before being spread onto the garden beds, resulting in serendipitous plantings about the garden. This year we had a bounty of 'surprise' squash plants. Here is the fruit of one such vine:

Lovely to look at. Reminds one of "delicata" squash. But the skin is HARD... very difficult to cut. I roasted them anyway, and served them to the family. FAIL! Granddaughter E said the flesh tasted like VELCRO!! 😂
