Have you cut open one of the wrinkly squash, Beth? What it looks like inside should tell you much. Having not seen the fruits, I would guess that they are drying out, but not entirely sure. Are you storing the beets in damp sand?

I have not been a
fan of butternut squash until this year, and grew it the first time. Most
of it has become a little "wrinkled". It is still good for us to use, but
we are part of an onliine ordering system for folks and I don't know
whether it is OK to sell that way. I suspect long time butternut users will be
OK with them, particularly if I put them on half price sale. I can't
easily ask since I don't see the folks, and most of them pickup over an hour
from us.
I realize I was too
picky on onions this fall (the ones I set aside to discard because the necks
seemed a little soft are still good), so wonder if I am being too picky on the
squash also.
Boy, the beets are
getting squishy and the squash is going. I see why spring used to be
the hungry time.
