I grew some Butternut Squash for the first time this year I managed to get some 9 Squash,s off the plants, I cooked
Some last week in the oven with oil and
Seasoned with ground black pepper a bit
like swede in texture when I cut them, I enjoyed the flavour of them still trying to work out what they remind me of somewhere between swede and turnip perhaps? but more swede in flavour, I,ve just cut another one up and done the same, when growing one plant they can take up a lot of room but I might still grow them again next year, I know many people like them to eat or make soup from them, thou only small in size they can cover a bakeing tray when chopped up.. Has anybody else grown them to here ?

"I bought one from the supermarket

That does sound nice, I,ve chopped mine up into chunks, first
time round I did slice them these do look like a success to me..

They can take really good spicing, so are fabulous roasted with chilli and cumin or used as a base in curries. Also roasted cubes with roasted red onions, toasted pine nuts, rocket and balsamic dressing on pasta. Nom. |

"I make soup with them and chips and casseroles. Daughter loves my spiced carrot n squash soup wish I lived near to get a few off you. "
The climate here seems warm enough for them to grow
would they in scotland? If so you only need space and plenty of water and feed when dry x |

"Love butternut squash. I'm going to attempt to grow some next year.
Grew pumpkin and courgettes this year a vast crop too.  "
Pumpkin would be a new one for me to try, but courgettes are nice to eat I like to fry them, a few years ago a guy down the road used to put courgettes on his garden wall for people to take obviously a surplus he had but they were beautifui to eat. |

"I think probably too cold here and I've no garden. Keep meaning to put myself on list for an allotment miss having a garden. "
If you get a plot on the allotment try and make sure you have easy access to a water supply, I remember at our local allotment before water was more available the majority of
people used sunken wells to get their water back in the 70,s .. |
