I had been looking for things to do with squash. We have a lot.
Most folks appreciate squash as a surprise gift -- especially when you and the giftee don't know each other at all. Even better is when you can give it away without being seen, such as dropping a basketful into the bed of a truck at your work or church or kid's ballgame, or even just into random vehicles at the grocery store.. Anywhere really.. My personal favorite is to surprise the garbage collectors by "hiding" some garden-fresh yellow squash in our trash cans.. They haven't said anything, but I know they appreciated the massive, seemingly endless quantities of squash they recieved last summer.
If you run out of people to give it to, you can just do what I did and leave on the vines in the garden.. I figured it would go back into the soil and provide nutrients for next years plants, but as it turns out, it doesn't do that at all.. Oh, no.. No, it dries out and makes a rattle-can full of seeds, which you will then disk in come spring.. Before you know it, you've got even more yellow squash to give away than you did last year!
Ain't life just grand???
