I'm determined to grow more winter squash next year - maybe Crown Prince, I've noted that you find it quite reliable. I just have some ukiri kichi left this year, and one spaghetti squash. I blew up a spaghetti squash in the microwave last week actually, when I was being impatient and trying to cook it quickly. Took a while to clean the microwave. There's a lesson in there. Hope you both have a good weekend.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-77706960227721718262013-10-11T15:57:38.354+00:002013-10-11T15:57:38.354+00:00Just hope that they live up to their promise, Snow...Just hope that they live up to their promise, SnowbirdSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-25955042003075078512013-10-11T15:08:38.123+00:002013-10-11T15:08:38.123+00:00I think it's wonderful to harvest the squash, ...I think it's wonderful to harvest the squash, the size of them make it so rewarding.

TNG is not a squash fan, but if I get my sturdy supports organised I hope to grow some smaller squash up an arch next year, I can eat them for lunches then and they won't take up so much precious space.
