Here are some of the scant handfuls of veggies I've managed to harvest from this year's struggling summer garden. Not pictured: a quart size Ziplock full of green beans and a couple more cucumbers (they're in the refrigerator). Sadly, these photos are the sum total of my tomato production so far.
I got exactly one Black Sea Man tomato before all three of the plants got a disease and died. It had a nice flavor, but still....one is just enough to be a tease.
I did slice it thin and tried to make a nice presentation of it. :)
Finally, I have a question for all you vegetable gardeners out there. I bought a 4-pack of what was supposed to be yellow crookneck squash plants at Lowe's a couple of months ago. I'm not sure what these are, but they're decidedly NOT yellow crookneck squash!
Can anyone identify this for me? Please and thank you!

Acorn squash.
I concur with Ms. Moon. The last time I grew tomatoes, they got blight. It was discouraging after all the work and watering I'd put in so I gave up. I hope my friends grow some though because there's nothing better than a homegrown tomato. :)
Yup, acorn. Good cut in half with the seeds scooped out, a bit of olive oil and microwave til tender.
I am not really a gardener, but I was going to say acorn squash too. I am so sorry about your tomatoes not doing well. There's nothing better than a fresh, homegrown tomato.
Too bad about your slim pickings after all of your hard work.
as a former gardener (oh how I miss this!) season come and go and some aren't very good. There will be other gardens.
As others have already concluded, it is an acorn squash. Might be okay to eat but test it first.
Looks like one of my favorites, an acorn squash. They keep for ages, until you're ready to eat.
It kinda looks like a young Acorn Squash to me, but I could be Wrong. I'm impressed with your tiny Harvest, looks healthy if not abundant.
I think it's been a disappointing year for many gardeners, with crops failing and the weather playing up. It's such a shame when you've worked so hard.
