half of these have borers so will have to be processed early >:(
69 lbs so far. The Crown Prince in center is 15 lbs.
Other than that one slashed butternut in the picture, the butternut harvest has not begun as they're not
troubled by borers.
A good year here for squash but other things did poorly or not at all! Strange the vagaries of gardening.
That is a lovely selection you have there, well done ;D
Those are looking lovely. Pleased the Ausies have done well for you - I feel like a proud auntie ;) :) A bit like earlier in the week with my neice getting her exam results!!
What's the striped one in the picture - I can't quite read the writing (something boat) ?

Yes, since you gave me the seed you SHOULD feel like a proud auntie! Thank you for letting me try them. Two more Crown Prince are on the vines and looking healthy- I hope they outlived the borers.
The striped is Honeyboat
Hope you get lucky with the borers (or the tin foil tactics pay off) !
