Fall potato and squash harvest

This is what they mean by a truck garden!
We've harvested nearly half the potatoes and most of the squash. The apples are really only good for cider or horses--we give them to the latter. Our best squash variety appeared to be the Marina di Chioggia", an heirloom Italian winter squash. I'm not sure if I dug the Katahdins or Kennebecs, but they seemed to have produced a better crop than last year. I've still got the Adirondack blues, a few remaining red potatoes, and whatever else we planted--Sangre de Cristos, I think. I left some of the butternut that weren't quite ready, and one Queensland Blue, still ripening.
YUM!

Squashes galore!
