so even though they were pretty, I won't grow them again. Half the seed they sent me didn't have any eyes. The other half were pretty sad looking. Worst of all, they brought in potato beetles, which I hadn't had here before. Happily my Peruvians and Adirondacks did a good job of resisting the beetles. They'll be rotated next year to another bed, so hopefully I won't see those things again.

And that squash soup looks heavenly...
