I don&#8217;t know what kind of animal, but it has sharp chisel-like teeth and a preference for Red Kuri and Delicata. So I scurried around harvestng and brought these inside. There are a few more green pumpkins out there. And the community garden has four huge Blue Hubbards and a lot of butternuts. They seem to be safe from animals so far, and the vines and leaves are still capable of absorbing sunlight I think. So I&#8217;m leaving them. That&#8217;s a lot of squash for us to eat. I think I&#8217;ll give some more away. I&#8217;ve already given some to friends and family. It&#8217;s fun to let people pick out a squash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9132-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9132-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9132-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9132-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Squashes from backyard garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9138-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9138-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9138-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/img_9138-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Red Kuri eaten by a discriminating animal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clouds this morning and sporadic rain.
