No, it's not a title of a terrible 1950's horror film....it's really happening!
If you look in the pictures, you'll see the squash not only hiding the frames that are clearly visble in the last post; you'll see it climbing ON TOP OF THE CORN! Of course, it has all but swallowed the fence as well. Did I mention that there are only 6 squash plants in our garden?
Like I tell Amber: I don't go in the garden alone, after dark, anymore. I'm afraid, and after these pictures who can blame me.
At least we'll have all the jalapenos, tomatoes and various squashes we can eat and put-up. I'll sleep a lot better after we harvest the squash plants. Until then, I don't let the dog go in the garden...just in case.

Yes, that's almost Jumanji looking. Keep your eyes on those kids out there.
Wow, are you sure your house is not built on a toxic waste dump. Those are amazing squash leaves!!!!
You may loose those children if you blink

You're right! In fact, I was tearing-away several large leaves that were shading my potatoes, and handing the leaves to Isaac to put in the compost bin; when he made an astute observation.
He looked nervously at the large vines surrounding him, looked at me with a worried face and asked if I could stop picking the squash leaves. I asked why, (like many an empathetic father); and he said: "Won't it make them (the squash plants) MAD?"
Maybe the boy is right.
