Although the pumpkin patch ended up buried in weeds, we've begun getting a good harvest of winter squash. There are a lot more out there that I'll gather after the first frost. Most will end up as winter treats for the sheep.

a nice variety of yummyness!

why sheep food and not for you to eat?

will sheep eat turnips?

we have butternut only planted. a few are
orange. we planted seeds from an orange fruit
but only two in that planting were orange.
the rest are all the dark green. we'll eat
them no matter what. i could live off roasted
squish.

We eat a lot of squash and pumpkin pie but generally grow too much for just ourselves, so the sheep get the excess as a winter-time treat.

We've never grown turnips, but since the sheep eat beets and carrots, I suppose they'd eat turnips also.

The Butterscotch are very similar to the Butternut, probably just someone's trade name for their variety.

We once baked a custard in a pumpkin. It was said to be a favorite of George Washington.
