It is not a great year for my winter squashes. I grew 3 types of them( red kuri, pomme d'or, and Yokohama.
Red Kuri has been performing very well, it produce 2 to 4 ( one of them even produce 6 ) but the slugs has damage quite a few of them, I have harvested 6 big squashes and 3 small ones from 3 vines, the last vine with 2 squashes is on it's way .
Pomme D'or is a lovely tiny single serving french squash, it has nice taste. It does produce loads ( I have some 30+ of them ), they are now turning yellow to it's final colour, pomme d'or has suffered quite some loses too ( to wasp and slugs).
Yokohama, It has shown it's first female flower a month a go and then nothing... but 2 weeks ago I notice lots of female flowers coming... I have seen 3 tiny small squashes on the vine, finger cross and hope for the best !
So far, I have eaten 3 small red kuri and 2 pomme d'or squashes.
