Title: squash.
Post by: shirlton on April 07, 2010, 12:55:56
I used the last winter squash today and it was beautiful but I have forgotten which variety it was. It was dark green with like a blue extension at the bottom. Please can someone help me because I really must get some more seed. It was about the size of a good iceberg lettuce.

Yes, it was one of yours - I didn't grow any last year.

I am growing them this year though, Shirl - would you like me to grow a couple for you?

No I dont save seeds unless I know that they will come true. A lot of squash don't.
