     Thank you, I had no idea that squash leaves can be silver. Once it set fruit, I realized it was a delicata, my absolute favorite!

       I have no idea what it is, but the leaves are beautiful!

   What are these leaves Eliza? So interesting! Are they naturally that color? Wow.

     Aren’t they gorgeous? They really are silver and so healthy. Delicata squash that sprung from my compost bin. A gift from nature!

       All that beauty in the leaves and offering up tasty squash, too?! You are a lucky gal! I think I’ll try some delicata next year. (;

       I highly recommend it. It has an edible skin, so no tedious peeling. It rose above butternut to become my favorite and that is saying a lot. But for a winter squash it isn’t as long storing as the others. So we just eat it up as quick as we can. No problem there. 😉

   I would love to know what the leaves are as well. You are our gardening guru, Eliza 🙂

     Delicata squash, so delicious. A gift from my compost pile. I’ve never seen a more healthy plant!

   Let’s guess what it is…it looks like a pumpkin or squash of some kind to me!

       Nice! And I was pretty good with the guess there!

       Yes, you were right on it!

   I didn’t know squash could be so pretty!

     IKR? It was a surprise to me as well. All the squash I have ever grown gets ratty, moldy and turns crispy. These have been radiant all summer – amazing!

    I have never seen such delicate beautiful leaves, Eliza!! What are they? How incredible the way Mother paints Her glory! ❤
    • Eliza Waters says:

      Indeed, they are glorious. They are leaves of delicata squash. Buttery and delicious with a texture of boiled potatoes – yum!

        Oh my mouth is watering just thinking about that squash. 🙂

        You might check out a farmer’s market near you, I expect they will start offering them.

    Such beautiful leaves. I had to check your tags to see what they were. I might have to grow some delicata squash next year. Somewhere I have a recipe for a delicata squash pie that I made once a few years ago when the farmer’s market carried them. It was super yummy, and I’d love to make it again.
