Notes

We've had abnormally high rainfall this year and the spaghetti squash went nuts. Most of it went to goats, chickens, and turtles because there's only so much squash two people can eat. Cannot remember variety/seed source.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
