definitely Queensland Blue. I don't think I have a long enough or warm enough season to grow one like that up here.

Very well grown Queensland Blue, which is one of the nicest squashes to eat.  Let them cure for a bit and eat in a month or three and they will be delicious.

Dark, dense, delicious meat, one of my favourites.

Sawfish, while you may not be able to grow Queensland Blue, you can certainly grow Crown Prince in Glasgow.
