Bought those bright yellow ones from a farmers market last week, very good. Do you know what's the variety?

Wow, those look great, Cherokees or Krim?
Admittedly I am horrible at keeping track. It was either krim or german johnson

Nope. Hate when I let them get too big, sadly I toss them most times if they do....

I have two varieties of yellow summer squash this year. The ones with the smooth skin are "Butterstick" (Burpee) and the bumpy ones are "Early Prolific Straightneck Squash". Both very good. I've seen some of the Buttersticks with a greenish hue when they get bigger. Like the one in the photo below that I got just before it got too big.
Probably - they usually wait until they are ready to eat tho.

Update from a garden slave.
First red bell peppers last Saturday
Been growing these mini "Picolino" cukes behind some insect netting (Gynoecious and parthenocarpic, so don't need pollinators). Good for snacking!
Tried growing Anaheim peppers (milder than jalapeño). We turned them into southwest style stuffed peppers. Very good but not hot enough.
Picked the first Spaghetti squash that appeared ripe. Baked and spaghetified. Taste great so they were ripe enuf.
From today, picked a bunch of different stuff. Black Beauty eggplant will be ready soon. Picked about three pounds of blackberries. I've been giving away a lot of zuchs, cukes and blackberries.
Also, picked the last of the blueberries (got about half a pint container).

I put new mulch between the boxes this year, so less weeds there (but lots last year). Just went out to start weeding in the boxes today. No mulch there. Haven't done it in a month and the weeds don't stop, especially this year.
BTW, those pears look fantastic!
After doing some weeding today, I was instructed to get some beets and sprouts for roasting. Luckily, I had some in stock.
