		<description><![CDATA[First Earthbox squash picked today.  Black Beauty zucchini weighing in at 280g.  I fear my squash may not be long for this world, however, as the other day I spotted the dreaded squash vine borer moth buzzing around the plants, depositing its eggs of death all over the squash stems.  I tried to scrape off [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 8-Ball, Zephyr and Multipik have petered out.  The Spacemaster cucumber has gotten a second wind and has produced another cuke.  It actually produces tons of cucumbers, but very few get pollinated on this plant. So, I planted three new squash seeds today to hopefully get some Fall summer squash.  Trying something different this time.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally have a cucumber nearing readiness.  This is a &#8220;spacemaster&#8221; cucumber, which has turned out to be a sprawling vine that has not lived up to its name.  I had to add a trellis to the Earthbox to give it somewhere to meander.  This is the first cucumber that has developed on it also, so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bees have found my Earthbox!  So far I have only seen bumblebees and not the garden-variety (heh heh) orangish bees.  At least I think they are bumblebees&#8211;they&#8217;re black and yellow colored.  Regardless, they are doing their thing. Here&#8217;s what you get if they don&#8217;t show up (or if you don&#8217;t hand pollinate):]]></description>

So, first squash ready 51 days after planting the seeds in the Earthbox.]]></description>

Concerned about what looks to be some powdery mildew perhaps forming on the 8 Ball squash.  The other squash do not show signs of it.  But that&#8217;s what destroyed all my squash last fall.  It will spread [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early squash fruits are dying as spinsters.  It seems that the females are early bloomers.  There have already been four squashes that have flowered and are now shrivelling away because not a single male flower has bloomed yet to provide the life-giving male pollen to these eager ladies.  Painful to watch.  But I think the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squash is coming along nicely at day 35 since direct-seeding in the Earthbox.  The Eight Ball variety is winning the race at this point&#8211;seems much more vigorous that the other varieties.  Second is probably Multipik, followed by Zephyr.  The cucumber I planted isn&#8217;t worth mentioning yet&#8211;very slow growing at this point. Now we just need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Squash is progressing much more slowly than it did in the fall garden, perhaps due to the chilly night temps.  The crappy Miracle Gro Potting Mix might also be a contributing factor.  It seems much less fluffy than the Hi Yield mix I used last time (Red Barn Nursery, where I used to get the [...]]]></description>
