![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2024/09/full-20161-229667-img_3674.jpeg) I gave my brother a random container of squash seed, apparently 👾Jahradales or a cross of those and buttercup and he planted a 50’ row…he’s got many different genetic expressions going on from the seeds of just one specimen. That’s an awesome pie squash right there ….. in about a month or more.

My squash did "ok" this year. The potatoes and cucumbers were the best I have ever had. Everything else was pretty poor. I am jealous of your gardens Les.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Thanks, everything is 3 weeks late but it has been warm for a while now to get things ripening My squash and pumpkins are going crazy right now and growing by the day. We were very wet this Spring and early summer. Late summer was hot and dry so everything is messed up. Some of my Red Pontiac potatoes are the size of softballs already and other things just never did worth a hoot.

Buttercups are my favorite squash. Just put up the last of my acorns today. That Hubbard blue hue always catches my eye. Some will grow huge. Definitely a good squash to grow for putting up volume. That cross looks nice. I'd be interested into the taste of it. All squashes have a distinct taste to me. Wonder if all those variants have the Hubbard taste or if each one is a surprise flavor. Very nice
