I have lovely customers who always offers the bounty from her garden. I always say "yes, but please don't give me a lot because I'm just me". She always ignores me and brings me enough for an army. Have you ever tried to give away squash during the season? It is impossible. I tried to dump some on my neighbor but he's trying to find a home for his excess, too. I ended up leaving with home grown 'maters.
I just sauteed up some with butter, onion, garlic and S&P. I stuck some on a fork and fed it to the snots. I haven't even made a dent in what she gave me. I'll be shitting yellow for as long as it lasts. I guess I can feed what starts going soft to the red wigglers but that seems such a shame.
You might freeze some...but like use, the freezers quickly gets loaded.... ;D....we're waiting for the peppers and tomatoes...love stuffed peppers...MMmm
I've never frozen squash but I will this time. Do you blanch them first? I kinda want not to blanch them so they won't be all soggy when defrosted.

A quick dip doesn't hurt....them....cut in chunks and freeze...we haven't grow squash here in a year, or so....and that was zucchini...
