Or if you are more sophisticated you might call them
Ronde de Nice.
They are good when golf ball size or even a little larger.
You can almost watch them grow.
The yellow squash in the back is also a Rolly Polly, only this one is now too old to eat but is perfect for saving seeds.
Ronde de Nice are prolific growers. Soon I will be putting them up on Main Street.
If you're lucky there may be a few waiting for you.
Have a wonderful week and be safe,
Gina
Among your many skills, your photographs are splendid. It all looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHi Sophie Soprano. Love your newest paintings. Next time I go to the Post Office I will leave a few Ronde de Nice at your doorstep.
DeleteThanks for your visit.
I'd love to stop by and pick up one of your Rond de Nice squash. But I would have to leave a slender green zucchini in its place as mine are very prolific just now. It's such a versatile vegetable and I'm not minding the glut quite yet. You have some delicious looking ideas here, Gina. Stay well.
ReplyDeleteDear Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteGreat Idea. Green zucchini are another great tasting vegetable. I will save a few seeds for you. I think that you would really like Ronde de Nice.
Gina dear, I would love some of those awesome little squash. . . . .and you know so well I would love to be at your doorstep if only possible at any time! Great photos - the bread must be so tasty, and squash soups are always our favorites - especially curried versions. I've been making a curried yellow (summer) squash soup, and zucchini and spinach is always a favorite. Today I'm making a spinach quiche with fresh farm eggs - and of course remembering your version which we enjoyed soooo much!

Dear Mary,
DeleteThis time of year, when everything is growing in leaps and bounds, I would love to share the bounty from my garden. Maybe, not so far into the future we can enjoy another visit. Or better yet, share a bottle of champagne along the Grand Canal.
I love the first three photos of your little squash, they remind me of 17th century Dutch paintings. My favourite squash is a butternut - I love it roasted, in soup, and also mashed.
ReplyDeleteDear Rosemary,
ReplyDeleteButternut squash is also my most favorite winter squash. You would also like this little summer squash. Each are perfect for their seasons.
Dear Gina, the squash photographs are just stunning, I thought they were paintings !
ReplyDeleteI confess to being a bread-lover of any kind, especially the summer breads using squash and zucchini.
What a spectacular place you call home, surely a little piece of paradise on earth.
Thank you for leaving your lovely comment about the passing of my Oliver, it truly brightened my day.
Hope to visit you often.
Hugs,

Dear Jo,
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to stop by for a visit and thank you also for your lovely compliment. No one knows how very difficult it is to lose ones special friend. One has to experience it to really know the very sadness that comes over us.
I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photographs.
Enjoyed the lovely photos, especially the summer squash.
ReplyDeleteHello Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit. Ronde de Nice are such obliging squash. They require no preparation. They also make you look good because every day there will be new ones.
