Topic: Doing a sweep on squash varieties being grown

[dandelion]

Jeannine - did I miss it, or where is your list of what you're growing!! :D

Yes, I'd been thinking the same... ;)

[allaboutliverpool]

Butternut squash,

Courgettes - Longue de Nice and Patisson Orange both bought as regional specialities in the South of France. Also last years Black something.

Pumpkin - Atlantic Giant to see if I can beat my 113lb last year.

You can see the picture of Patisson Orange on

Are Uchiki Kuri and Red Kuri the same thing  ???

[goldendaisy123]

I'm growing Butternut Squash - Avalon F1 Hybrid & Barbara Butternut F1 Hybrid. My favorite.
Some wonderful sounding lista appearing - do many of you have acres of land?  ???  I'm very jealous my little lottie can only cope with my Butternut! ;)

[tim]

Not so much acres - but can you keep friends who are overloaded with your produce?

Our 8 plants can give 480 fruit - that's 4 a day. That's a surfeit. An imposition!

[CityChick]

Not acres, just one lottie and a couple of rose arches.

Courgettes I like really small anyway, so that reduced the numbers.

Squash... I'm thinking I can try growing some of the smaller ones up each side of an arch (with support for the fruit as they grow). 

Then a few can go rampaging through the sweetcorn, 3 sisters style. 

I've divided the lottie into beds with paths inbetween (planning for some spill over onto paths ;)) 

And I'm quite serious about sneaking a few in at Mum's (she got bad arthritis and won't go out alone now, let alone garden :'()  But I'm thinking it would be rude to waste that veggie bed she tended lovingly for 30+ years organically...

And then maybe a few in the chicken run at home (I thought they'd appreciate all the chicken poop, and the girls might appreciate the shade in summer?

And before I know it, I'm growing and obsessive amount ;D

[goldendaisy123]

Thanks for the tips! Might just have to try Mums garden too - I wonder if she will notice  :)
