fantastic display EJ, and cookie, i especially love those spotty ones EJ :-)
I love butternut squashes but this year I thought I'd try growing a few other varieties too and I've had success with them all, although none of them are as decorative as yours.  The most prolific were the 'jack be little' pumpkins, I have so far harvested 67 of the minature pumpkins and there are still more on the plot, all from 2 plants!  Haven't a clue what I'm going to do with them all, but I shall be trying out some soup and stew recipies I think.

Hi

I remember when we were touring German a couple of weeks ago there was a house where the entire front garden was made up of squashes and pumpkins in a ornimental display :-)
