Title: Delicata squash = delicious!
Post by: Squash64 on October 15, 2011, 18:29:21
It's the first time I've grown Delicata but a friend gave me a packet of seeds so I planted about 5 and then forgot about them.  Today I picked at least 40 fruit!

I cut it into chunks and put olive oil, salt and pepper on and then roasted it.  It cooked really quickly and my husband said it was deliciousl

I miss Jeannine as well.

My Marina di Choggia went gooey in the rain. I'll be eager to hear what you think of its taste.

My Marina di Choggia went gooey/moldy in the rain. I'll be eager to hear what you think of its taste (yours, not mine ;D.)
