Butternut squash
I've just eaten a very nice Butternut Squash which reached me from
Argentina via Tesco :-) Is it worth saving and planing the seeds? Or is it likely to be a pesky F1 hybrid? Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com A useful bit of gardening software at http://www.netservs.com/garden/ |

Butternut squash
You never know. You might save them, and plant 2 or 3 hills and see what
you come up with. Dwayne "Steve Harris" wrote in message ... I've just eaten a very nice Butternut Squash which reached me from Argentina via Tesco :-) Is it worth saving and planing the seeds?

I's probably worth it, we've grown squashes successfully from bought ones before now. -- Chris French and Helen Johnson, Leeds urg Suppliers and References FAQ: http://www.familyfrench.co.uk/garden/urgfaq/index.html |

Or is it likely to be a pesky F1 hybrid? Give it a go. We did and got some rampant squash plants that produced lots of pear-sized gourds. These were delicious - but seedless, so we couldn't do it again. |

Butternut squash
Definitely give it a try - I have grown from both bought seed and 'Tesco'
seed with slightly better results from bought. The Organic catalogue have a good selection. My results last year were so successful I haven't yet managed to eat them all!
