Burgess buttercup
Sunshine
Avalon
Delicata-cornell
Golden delicious
Black futsu

I never realised there were so many different types of gourd! Jeannine - have you tried for the national collection? I really think you should - you seem to be a very commited grower!

Hi Suzanne, you have three that I would like if possible.

Golden Delicious
Table Gold
Blue Ballet

Thank you for your very kind offer to swap, if you don't want to increase your squash stash can you tell me anything you might like in return.

You mentioned beans, I have a nice little collection .

Plus lots of tomatoes.

Tons of different salad stuff.

Actually I ahve a good stash of most things really.

Please give me an idea  what I can tempt you with.
