Annual 4th of July Check-In

We are having a cold summer this year, but it doesn't seem to be bothering the garden too much.  Worst performer this year is definitely the zucchini, and I plan on a soil test in my squash bed to see if there's a problem.  Pumpkins are in the same bed and are doing fine, so it's a mystery.

New to me this year is acorn squash, and I'm thrilled to see it doing so well.
