There are a lot of vegetables and fruits that are grown in this area. Every thing seems to ripen at once. Squash and pumpkins are abundant. This is the best time to buy them. Some years I have gotten busy and cooked and frozen quite a supply. It would be good if I could store them uncooked. I may still give a day to squash/pumpkin cooking. A couple of weeks ago carrots were ten pounds for $2.00. Of course they were big mature carrots, but those make the best soup.

I froze some of the carrots chopped, but raw. I understand I can make soup/ roasted veggies from them. Can I do the same for squash? I would peel and chop it, but it would be nice to have a supply during the winter. It would be worth trying because the price is right.

You don't have a good veggie source? I guess it depends on where you are. If they have to truck them very far the price goes way up.
