The end shaped like a bell, the bell end as opposed to the not bell shaped straight bit. You see I am of innocent thought, pure as the driven snow and could not possibly mean anything other than the literal meaning.
I think the term is used in USA gardening circles without other meanings, where I picked it up, probably.
I would never for example compare politicians with squash, that would be wholly inappropriate to delightful squash.

And there is a further one near Bedford too. Wonder how they got their name. The very end of where you can still hear the church bells maybe.

Talking about squash keeping properties Crown Prince keep well until May as do Winter Festival, the Crown Prince have lasted a bit longer but depends on the temperature in my garage.

I used the last of my butternut last week. Admittedly it was drying out a bit but it was good enough to add flavour to a bean stew.

My pumpkins appear to have only one good fruit per plant. TBH it's almost a relief as that's about hte right amount of squash we actually need!
The recent diversion off topic has caused much amusment though and Galina I loved your response
