Growing this year

Baby Blue Hubbard
Red Kuri
Potimarron
Butternut (hawk)
Triamble
Crown Prince
Marina di Cioggia
Squashkin
Buttercup bush
and another one - French heirloom but for the life of me can't remember the name - think its Galuesies di eysine or something similar.

I did a 3 sisters and tom swap ( squash, corn, beans and tomatoes) this year. I am very happy to start a squash only swap this December if anyone is interested?

If you do another three sisters & tom, you'll probably get more people interested.

Lots of different varieties being grown, Potimarron seems popular - what's it like (thinking ahead for next year ....  ;D) ?
