After my Wednesday visit to my daughter's, I put some more details on the 'Squash/pumpkin ID' thread I started. Would you have a look please and see if they help you identify it? Darling daughter would love to know! Thank you all. xxx

Jeannine's the expert  :) I'm just a guesser.

Yes, guessing here as well.  It could just be Sweet Meat, which is a fairly similar squash and there are a few others that are somewhat similar.  For example Jarrahdale or Whangaparoa Crown.  All are excellent storing and very tasty squashes.


The most common squash of this type with seeds readily available in the UK is Crown Prince.

Hey hey, I am not an expert LOL

When I first went to the UK in 2000 winter squash  still seemed a rarity and when I joined A4A I answered many of the questions as I had been growing it donkeys years, but it has spread all over the UK now and it is great to hear about the many varieties that you folks all grow. Now there are many posters who know squash inside out and I enjoy reading about them all.

Tis the wonder of squash.. it spreads everywhere!!

Thank you both!  :-*

Jeannine - you are far too modest! You are the A4A guru when it comes to squashes - and a lot of other things, too! xxx
