Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
Wow, I am so jealous that you can grow such amazing squash! (our growing season is too short). And your flowers are telling me it's still summer there! I hope it's a nice cool summer by now :)
Great fun to see your garden produce - I do miss the goodies we harvested from ours, but not enough to want to move back to a place where we could have a garden again. Better to visit the local market!
