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.  :drunken_smilie:

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.   :wave:

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  :wave: :wave: :wave:
