What varieties are these, Chris? I think that I recognise red kuri, and the butternut, but the ones at the back look a sensible size for next year, maybe - depending on the taste?
Cracking harvest!Comment

the ones at back-left are Festival F1, and look like a larger version of my Hooligans.
What a haul, well done.Last edited by Two_Sheds; 28-09-2009, 07:31 AM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

I've got about 30 Winter Festivals to pick. Are the greeny black ones Marina De Chioggia? The stems look similar to mine....Hayley B

Brilliant! I'm noting down those varieties. Puts my little haul of 5 squash to shame (from one plant, though). well done!

I had a lot of space for squash this year as I was using it as weed smother over the plastic mulch.... THink I had four festivals, two bon-bon, two Uchiki kuri, one Waltham and four harriers. All the pumpkins off a single unknown plant. Had others but got murdered by a hailstorm (lost a harrier adn at least two Walthams to it and it hurt the UK enough that the bon-bons overgrew them for a while..... Next year will be more organised as I klnow more about what I'm doing adn they'll be out earlier under cloches, a lot more regimented rather than all over the place, with frames to grow on and more manure for everything.... will repeat the mulching out of their space though, didn't water them at all after they'd been planted out.

It really is worthwhile: I mulched each of my squashes with a few copies of the Times (it's thick) ... I just dug all the foliage out this week, and the soil under the newspaper was lovely: dark, moist and crumblyOriginally posted by chriscross1966 View Post
