LonestarSon and I grow straight neck squash. Do you prefer the crooked neck ones, or just plant them out of habit?

I have so many crookneck seeds so that's what I plant. Do you start seeds or buy plants?

I always used crookneck until a few years ago, when I discovered Straightneck. They teste the same, but the straight ones are easier to slice for grilling. We'll be throwing both over the fence in a few weeks. Try putting some of them in your spaghetti sauce.

I always grew both until a year or two ago...I still grew some last year, but I did not plant them.  I usually plant seeds, but this year, with everything going on with my family, I did not have the time to find the seeds, till the land and plant as early as needed. I, therefore, purchased very small plants. Apparently we ended up with one of the pan squashes (not sure which one yet, the baby squash is too small to identify). I like both, but the crook tend not to be as appetizing to some people as some tend to get bumpy and look funky.

I always have seeds left over from the year before so I just use those, anything that doesn't get ate or put up goes to the pigs or the birds. What straight neck do y'all prefer? Those are Kentucky Wonder green beans in case you are wondering.

Those are Kentucky Wonder green beans in case you are wondering. I grew up on a cotton farm in Arkansas. We always grew a vegetable garden for our table, and a little for the market. I never knew there was anything except crook necked yellow squash, until a few years ago. I always buy about $0.50 worth at the feed store. I saw the straight neck, and tried them. I prefer the shape. I eat everything, but never cared much for squash when I was young. My momma always put them in a pot and boiled them until they teased about the same was they were spelled. Same with green beans, boiled fresh green beans until they tasted like they came out of a can. I mostly stir fry both now. I like the Roma ll bush bean. It's a bigger and flat green bean. I get about 2 pickings off them and then pull them up.

Nice berries. I do believe I live in a micro-climate. My berries just finished blooming.
Peaches are red and weighing down the branches but the plums are still tiny. Got my first red tomato today ( Patio) and the Early Girls, Beefsteak , Better Boys are all in full bloom. The okra and corn are about 6". I've mulched everything heavily since the south wind has picked up. Hope it's not gonna be another summer like last year. 
AdvTX: don't remember if I asked you earlier but where did you get the plans for your chicken coop ? There's one just like it on the west end of Bob Sandlin. I'd like to build a larger version ( 10-20 hens and a rooster) if possible.
