Approaching the Blue Hubbard on August 29

Last night the temperature was 6-10 degrees C. That in itself was no big deal but it signifies, ever so heartlessly, that Summer is a timed event. Duh, of course it is. Still I get, what I now call August anxiety which prompts me to look at garden produce that need harvesting. This season the new intruder is the winter squash,
                                            The Blue Hubbard                                                    
I did delve into various gardening sites to get more information on when to cut these blue -gray fruits off the vine. The experts claim that the squash can suffer chilling injury at temperatures below 10 degrees C and so we will have to watch. No anxiety is induced by the potted begonia which can be brought in.           
There the Begonia will into September.
