My DH commented that it is time to give up on winter squash. Sadly, I agree. Plus, they are not cheap anymore. Acorn squash was on of my favorites until the last few years. I never see Hubbard or Banana squash anymore. > > Are the squash just bred for shipping and shelf life and have the flavor bred out of them? Are they GMO? Many fresh items are bred for shipping and shelf life and have no flavor or nutrition. Watermelon are no good anymore. The farmer's market things in the summer are not a lot better. > > Oh well! > > DaleP > Has there been any change in the weather where you live? That could have an impact of veggies grown in your area if the change is significant (for example more/less rainfall than usual). MaryL |
