Hi tulip  ;D
mine didn't ripen last year. I got them from a garden centre far too late in the season (she says with the benefit of hindsight ::))

this year we have the 'mystery squash mix' from real seed catalogue so have no idea what squashes i'll growing. the sad thing is, i'm unlikely to know what they are even when they are ripe ???

Excellent Mike, now you'll be growing lots of butternut. My shop bought seed grew true so well worth a go. Well done! :D

I've heard that squash seeds last for years, but don't take it for gospel; not everything you hear is true.

I'm sure they'll be fine for a couple of years if you keep them cool and dry.
