grew buttercup this year. they were good, has a light cucumber flavor to it. had green kabocha and that is honestly the absolute best we've ever had. tasted like a roasted, spiced, nutty flavored sweet potato. dry meat but very smooth. looks similar to the mooregold.
I bought a honey nut variety of butternut squash. Smaller than a standard butternut, not a good keeper, but absolutely delicious. I'm saving the seeds.
Our Cushaw squash plants didn't put a lot of fruit on, but they were huge.....nearly 24 lbs. I've used them like sweet potatoes in a pie. Try them roasted.
@mulletgawd7414 .......not every one was that size. But we've had a few like this yr. It's easy to get 10 to 15 lb ones. I do a lot of amending to our soil.
Some squash do better cured. Others don't need it as much. Acorn, Delicata, and spaghetti don't need cured, so that explains your experience. Perhaps mooregold is one of those varieties as well.
Awesome Display 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!

Thanks for the input. We grew kabocha this year (2024) and have only tried one so far. I’ve heard they get even even better with age.
Kabocha is basically every chef's favorite squash. I don't think they store as well as some other varieties though.

yea - we usually grow a ton of spaghetti squash too - keeps so well - so easy to prepare
Agreed! Plus it can be used many ways.

Thanks for the tip!
24lbs a piece?
