Squashes
It's definitely fall now - the squashes are starting to make an appearance at the market, and even at the convenience store down the street.
That's interesting. I looked it up and you have it correctly but vaguely there is an alternative for the plural of squash and it's simply "squash". I have never used "squashes". Unless it's used in this way, "The man squashes the ant as he steps on it." :) I would say I cooked 3 squash for dinner. :) Some say ta-may-to, some say to-mat-to. :)
I've always used/assumed that you have 1 squash, and n squashes. Different regions, different usages, I guess. :-)
