Looks like a full winter larder! How many did you get?
It certainly is full house here!
In total 18 squash, of varying sizes, not the best haul, but considering the cool summer a decent one
Wow, that’s quite a collection. I just tried to find a pumpkin (for carving) at our local farm shop but they’re all dismally small this year 😦
Every year I say I’m going to cut back on the number I grow, but then somehow some new seeds come along that are just too tempting and before I know it I’m off again!
Could you share the name of the orange one? Have to grow that next year!
Sadly my squash died off in the wet weather…but I did manage 9 pumpkins!

Hi Stacey, Congrats on the pumpkins, it sounds like we’ve all struggled with the weather this year.
The orange one is a Potimarron, an old French variety. You should be able to get the seeds fairly easily (I see the Seed Savers exchange have them listed ). They are a small vine type, and usually you get a few per plant. Oh and they are tasty!
These pumpkins/squash look fantastic! I had no clue that there were so many different breeds.
Thank you, they are so much fun to grow, the trouble is that there are so many different shapes, sizes and colours, it’s a real problem to choose!
