Emergency Squash Harvest

If anyone (members or friends of the farm) would like to come help harvest our squash from 3pm on, the help would be appreciated.
The squash is beside where the chickens are currently rotating in the covercrops, so I’ve been able to keep an eye on them passing them three times a day. Last week I saw one squash had been bored into by likely a field mouse getting at the seeds. This is pretty normal and often happens to squash that are partially rotten, so wasn’t a cause for concern. Yesterday I saw a second one. This morning I saw at least ten bored into!
I was planning to harvest them next week but it can’t wait now. If you think you can come, text me at 519 369 8116, or just show up.
Tanya is able to be in the CSA store today so can direct people if you don’t know where to go.

Thanks!
