Figure 3. One of our spaghetti squash plants.

This spaghetti squash plant actually was a volunteer. I had planted some tomatoes in soil that also included the starter soil from all the little pots where no plants had come up. I guess, this one just took

a little longer and had come a little later. Like a little orphan, we gave it a little extra attention and lo' and behold, we harvested seven giant fruit.
