rolet - green hubbard - sweet dumpling - burgess buttercup - thelma saunders - blue ballet - crown prince - uchi kuri - kabocha - potimarron - red onion - mixed summer scallop - zap something - badnangnani something. what someone said to me recently was that i would have to plant 2 of each variety in order for them to not cross-pollinate and if some groups are different, then they should be grown separately from each other. is that true, and how far apart. can someone classify which of the above are from diff groups. i do know that most of the seed is saved, and i don't think they were hand-pollinated. only 2 have been shop bought (new this yr by myself). thanks.... :P
My favourites are Bon Bon, Delicata and Tromba d'Albenga. I grow them all up canes and they do very well.
This year I am going to try growing Spaghetti Squash . Apparently very simple to cook ..pierce the top and bottom and boil for half an hour , cut in half , remove seeds , scrape out the hot steaming long spaghetti like fibres , add butter and grated cheese. ooh! Cant wait ! ;D
sorry for being a ditz, but that means i wouldn't be able to grow more than one variety from each group, right? so that means just one plant from each group, or can i grow more than one but have them far apart at some distance?
I still have a Triamble grown in 2009.. this is a record for me.XX Jeannine

My Triamble is not edible, it has sort of dehydrated but not rotted
badnangnani something. - don't know what this might be
Am rather disappointed with some of the germination of squash i got from a seed place online
Can anyone suggest the best squash/pumpkin for making soup please?
