Having read you grow 200 varieties of squash :o you take the record! We've only grown a couple and I was wondering which you find the tastiest?

Obviously Jeannine will know more than me, but I can recommend Black Futsu and Crown Prince. They grew best for me last year and tasted superb.

dont know if the spelling is anywhere close but last years galeaux deysines were absolutely gorgeous. Jeannine kindly gave me the seeds and they were by far the best we had last year :D

I grew quite a few last year. The best by far was the acorn squash. I dont know what type it was, as my plant labels all bleached in the sun ::)

I recommend buttercup/kaboucha squash (dark green with silver-grey stripes). http://www.nzbsc.com/english/index.html
The other one I would grow if I couldn't get the seeds for the above is Crown Prince.

Now after reading that link I know how to cut it without nearly killing myself each time......I remember my Mum taking an axe to one in desperation.....the skins aren't really that thick though and i usually eat the skin as well after roasting very good source of fibre.

It was too cold last year for my Galeux d'Eysines to grow.
