Title: Have I been had?
Post by: grannyjanny on October 27, 2010, 10:14:26

I have just had an organic delicata squash delivered, paid £2.09 for a 500g one. Is this a little on the small size for that type of squash?

Not sure how big they get, but they aren't that large so probably not. The price is a different thing...  :-\

Delicata's aren't the easiets things to grown in our climate but I managed a couple off a plant this year. They aren't huge, I will be growing them again because of that.... (I got too many monsters this year that I haven't got a use for.....)
