Aliens came. Aliens invaded my garden. And just like in that crappy Tom Cruise movie, "War of the Worlds", they have been laying dormant beneath the surface of the earth for years. Aliens are coming!



Looky close - they are spawning!




I have no idea where these came from, or why they chose my bean garden as a host for their invasion. I should have yanked them out by their little alien necks when I had the chance. Now their defenses are strong, and they have protected themselves with a thick covering of sharp little spines. The beans are trying to ward them off, the valiant little buggers, but the aliens are bigger and stronger and meaner. Now the only choice I have is to let them wreak havoc. Let them have their way. Let them pillage and destroy. And hope that fact will parallel fiction and they will catch a human cold and die, just like in that crappy Tom Cruise movie....

Hmmm an alien invasion, are you sure there is nothing you can do to get rid of them?

Squash you say? From the planet Marrow of the system Cucurbita, perhaps?

Squash is better than beans anyway, quit complaining. Dooley

<<< GASP >>> You can't pickle squash with dill and habaneros like you can a green bean. Plus, a pickled squash wouldn't fit in my Bloody Mary glass!

You can pickle squash just like cucumbers. Pick them small or make bread and butter pickles. I don't know from martini's. Dooley
