two butternuts looking decidedly sorry for themselves - one huge and one normal sized (although enormous compared to the ones in the shops currently).  The seem to get sweeter and stronger tasting as they get older.

Several squashes still sitting in the conservatory, still nice and heavy and firm.  Will take a pick axe to get through them!  PLenty of preserves from last year.  And I still have some garlics left in the kitchen from last years successful harvest.
