Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what kind of squash this is please?

We were given 2 plants which were supposed to be butternut squashes, but
aren't showing any tendency to look like butternuts. They are however
showing a tendency to attempt taking over the entire allotment.

I accidentally broke this one off the plant, so I cut it open so you can see
the inside, although I'm assuming it's not fully finished yet. So if you
know-- what is it? What's it good for? How will I know when they're ripe?

TIA

Hard to tell really, but my best guess would be maybe Hubbard???

Check google for that one and see what it says? :-)

Just found this site and it has a BUNCH of pics of different winter
squashes:

If you want Butternut squash seeds, I've got a million of them.
I save them when I purchase them from the store and they grow well for
me! You might try that too... Cut a fresh, mature butternut sqaush in
half and remove the seeds prior to cooking it. Rinse the seeds and dry
on some papertowels, then store in a regular paper envelope with the
variety and collection date written on it.

Cheers!
