Let my horse tell you how plant zucchini squash


 It's true....don't think that this is another one of them farm jokes that Farmer Deno is about to throw at you! I didn't plant these seeds that are sprouting up on a warm Fall day. The horse did. Here's how.......
 Jeanette was feeding the three horses a great deal of our Summer veggies a few months ago. The zucchini squash was very abundant. Every day at least five pounds of the stuff  was given out. Oh yummy!
 Now a few months later and today......I took notice of something very strange happening in the horse manure composing area.......sprouts of zucchini squash! That second picture above.....is NOT fertile earth :-) Do I really need to tell you what it is?
 This coming year, Farmer Deno will be feeding the horses tomatoes, eggplant, corn and an vast assortment of seedy veggies. Then I'll have the animals roam the fields........"planting" for me. No more of this plowing and seeding stuff again! Life is too easy on the farm.
