Some Squash! Emery Gates of 126 E. Summit St. shows a 21 1/2 pound squash he grew in a small garden within the Ann Arbor city limits. The huge squash, measuring 16 inches ling by 9 inches wide, was grown from an ordinary squash seed on rocky ground near railroad tracks where Gates says " you wouldn't expect anything to grow." The squash is the color of a watermelon, but has a rougher skin surface. Gates also grew giant collards, an "extremely healthy" crop of other vegetables and several hundred pounds more of outsize squashed in the garden.
