Title: Look at this badboy!, now what shall i do with it?
Post by: RenishawPhil on August 23, 2012, 17:41:04
Its a boston squash, about 3 times the size of our other boston one. 

Decided it try it.  Not turning out to be a bad squash/pumpkin season.  Ok not a large crop but enough for the winter/spring

It's certainly the biggest I be ever grown. Don't think ill grow one bigger. Could have left it a few more weeks but thought might as well make a start!
