Topic: Advise on winter squash varieties please

[blight]

I ´ve grown "uchiki kuri or hokkaido  for the last few years and like them the best so far.
if you leave them on the vines till the foliage has withered, which in my case is about now, and make sure you cut them off with a 10 cm long handle attached, they usually keep till march or till you´re  sick off them. no need to peel, dark orange flesh, good flavour, about 2-5 pounds.

I adore butternuts and only got one this year :-(
Not even a decent size either.

Lottie, which variety did you grow? I want some like that!

hi dinger,

i've grown ten varieties this year and the standout variety has been 'jaspee de vendee'which is technically a pumpkin (i think). it's early, bears lots of fruits of about 1.5kgs and is really tasty.  good luck.
