Winter squash

Sweet Dumpling   small can be baked whole has taste similar to sweet potato

Blue kuri and Red Kuri Small medium stores well nice nutty taste

Squash, Pumpkins, Courgettes and their germination

The fail-safe way to start off Squash, Pumpkins, Courgettes and Cucumbers and the best tastiest varieties for both summer eating and winter storage, from the small Sweet Dumpling as big as your hand to the large Musquee de Provence, the Potimarron Rouge Tres Hatif d’Etampes with its divine chestnut flavour all are better than the ubiquitous butternut!

I recommend you try Summer Crookneck much more flavor than the average Courgette.
