We planted them, they grew vigorously, and now we have a good number of green squash.  Now the question is, what sort of squash is this?  Some googling seems to imply that &#8216;tahitian&#8217; is a hard winter squash, in which case we should wait months for it to turn hard and tan.  (Some places put it in the same cultivar with butternut, and call it &#8216;tahitian winter squash&#8217;.)  But, it looks like a summer squash, in which case we should eat it now, like zucchini.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/bdiscoe\/Farm2007Q3\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 144px; height: 108px\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/bdiscoe\/Rr4nO8ZKl_I\/AAAAAAAAADI\/GAS4g2_AgHY\/s144\/DSC01737.JPG\" \/><\/a>   <a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/bdiscoe\/Farm2007Q3\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 144px; height: 108px\" src=\"http:\/\/lh4.google.com\/bdiscoe\/Rr4nP8ZKmAI\/AAAAAAAAADQ\/jMaLUDeCOnM\/s144\/DSC01738.JPG\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we visited Nancy Redfeather&#8217;s farm, she generously gave all of us a wide variety of seeds she harvested from her own crops.
