   spring and we just had the first one for dinner last night. Very good, the   
   best squash we've had so far. It has a texture like custard, unlike some   
   winter squash which are very    
   fibrous. Dark orange flesh and great flavor.   
      
     y.w.!  :)  glad you liked them.  we also grow some kabocha like   
   squashes which have crossed with the buttercup, both hold up ok   
   to the squash bugs/borers.  that's why we grow them.

   have a blue squash festival in Japan when these ripen. I'll post a review when   
   we try some.   
      
     we like squash, so hope to hear it is a good one.  :)   
      
     cheers, back to getting the tomatoes done we picked today...
