And the squash vine dish does look lovely, although I have a feeling that the texture would put me off.<br /><br />No 80's here - we are finally into winter weather (12F last night!)...I'm enjoying it but no doubt Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-42673377665971933522017-12-12T10:44:47.809-08:002017-12-12T10:44:47.809-08:00Your weather is incredible.

I like the sound of the way you prepared them Michelle, although I am not convinced by the fuzziness.

Or perhaps it will make them grow even more vigorously.... At least they won't all just go into the compost.<br /><br />It is hard to pull out productive plants! But I can wait until the end of the year before I absolutely have to plant the favas so I'm going to wait and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-71192359049867276172017-12-11T09:35:33.686-08:002017-12-11T09:35:33.686-08:00The shoots aren't stringy if you trim them sho...The shoots aren't stringy if you trim them short enough and I also removed the largest tendrils. <br /><br />Low humidity here too and yes, it's my eyes that are bothered the most. The smoke has made its way north so the skies are murky brown and it's a bit stinky but not so bad that I have to get the air purifiers out. I hate to run those things because they dry the air out even more.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-21665341789666289642017-12-11T08:49:15.248-08:002017-12-11T08:49:15.248-08:00Eating the squash vines is a new one to me too.

It's always hard for me to pull up any plants that are producing, though frost usually gets my tomatoes and peppers before they are truly done making fruit.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-12072729086007816732017-12-11T08:22:51.972-08:002017-12-11T08:22:51.972-08:00Hey, squash vines is a new one to me.

Big blobs of ashes on the plants. I blast it off with a jet stream from the hose. It adds a bit of moisture to their air as well.Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.com
