VVS.Time to start thinking

uhhhh eat them?

I've tried that one once, but didn't have much success, I hope you have better luck than me.

Let's hope so, no what I meant was can they be used just like courgette or are they treated s bit different when cooking? We haven't eaten much squash in the past but I'm hoping to eat more to give us a bit more variety. Also have party pan squash growing so any tips of what to do with them would be good

Depending on size cut them in half/big chunks & roast with your other veg Mrs.W,or make soup,or make caaaaaaaake squash are really quite versatile

Thankyou will give it a whirl of got Jamie's book which had a recipe for butternut squash muffins- let's hope I get a decent harvest!:-D

Remember to take pictures of the squash (we like to see different varieties)

Scarecrows do seem to be a dying art in gardens & allotments these days While in reality they probably do very little to scare crows,that is no reason to let a great tradition slip into obscurity,come on peeps lets get creative & fill that category this year

They have completions and trails of scarecrows round here every year. You see them all over although the one hanging by the neck out of a tree the other year did get complaints.

I like to oven roast or griddle them, to store. They then get used as a topping on pizzas instead of peppers. They also get added to vegetable lasagne or soups.

I'm growing 'tromba' squash for the first time although I haven't the foggiest what to do with them if I get a decent harvest!

I grow them for entertainment - they always make me smile
Actually, they're good to eat too as the seeds are in the bulbous bit, the rest is all "flesh"

[Scarlet]

I grow them every year. One of my favourites!
