I grow these yellow crook neck squash from seeds. They are not lack of fertilizer, they are just small. I believe one of those squashes can make a meal (for my cat :D).
I saw a yellow mantis outside the window. I mistaken it as a dried weed.
Lemon is by far the easiest kind of fruits to grow in your garden. Water it twice a week, fertilize twice a year. Look at the picture below: lemon from the tree with fertilizer (left) and lemon without fertilizer (right). I cut up the lemon to make lemon tea but the lemon slide was bigger than my cup!
