Topic: What keeps well?

[Squash63]

What varieties of squash do people grow which are good 'keepers'?

I still have a few butternuts left and they are in perfect condition. 

I even have a 'Tromba d'Albegna' from 2007 which is decorating my porch. Mind you, it's only lasted because I don't like the taste as much as the butternuts!

Hi Squash 63,

I still have 2 Crown Prince and about 10 Winter Festival all still looking very happy and they are both a lovely flavour.

It will be interesting to see what other squashes keep so well as I always keep mine until now when there is not so much other veg in the garden.

Crown Prince gets my vote... Marina kept well until end of Jan but then collapsed, may have got frosted...  :-\

Have 1 Crown Prince, 1 Buttercup, 1 triamble, 1 potimarron - which remain good. But also a couple of sucrine de berry - but don't think these will last much longer and the taste doesn't stay as sweet with storage - better eaten in the first two months post harvest.
