Packing them peppers

Hey Bob, how do you harvest these squash when they climb a tree? We
can't shoot them down as shooting is verboten in this town. Vine is too
tough for pellet gun fire, don't have a bow, maybe one or more grandkids
can climb up there and harvest them. This is one prolific squash, see a
bloom today, check tomorrow there's a little squash, day after tomorrow
you pick it and eat it. this is sure a keeper for future use, got two of
them marked to go to full ripe stage for harvesting seed.
YOU LET IT CLIMB A TREE??? Oh, deer. You've seen pictures of the kudzu in
the South East? It's about like that. Send the young'uns up the tree to
pick them every couple of days so the weight of the squashes don't pull the
tree down.
Best regards, ;-)
Bob
