Default Lady Godiva Squash.

This is a squash which is grown for its seeds only - they don't need shelling apparently. Has anyone grown it? Was it worth it?

I bought my seeds last year from the Organic Gardening Catalogue, but it was one of those lists of purchases where I'd got carried away and hadn't really thought about where I was going to grow it all. We have a second lottie now, so more space. A friend has suggested that in order to access the seeds I cut the squash in half and then use the rinds as slug hotels, meaning that they won't be completely wasted (the flesh isn't very good, apparently), so I think I'll give them a go, even if it's just one or two plants.
