As anyone grown any of these squash with any success as I'm going to have a bed spare once I pull up rest of new potatoes. And am gunna give them a go.

They look lovely, very colourful - but personally I think they very bland.
There are others that taste much better

[jonny the plant pot]

Any suggestions would be most welcome

[Thelma Sanders]

Uchiki Kuri or Celebration for one to serve 2-3 or Crown Prince for a bigger one, would be my suggestions

See what others think.......

I quite like them

I have two on the go. I have never eaten them before, but they looked "cool "to my eight year old, so in they went. If we only get one, he will be well chuffed and that will make them worthwhile.

I didn't think the taste was up to much, but they do look stunning.

For flavour my current favourites are potimarron and black futsu. Tonda padana both looks and tastes good and is a bit bigger. Thelma sanders (not the Grape, though she's lovely too!) is also very good and you get many fruits from the plants. Crown prince is usually too big for just the two of us at home.

Lots of those seeds are in the VSP if you want to try them...

Wiki says that Uchiki/Red Kuri squash are the same as Potimarron

Uchiki Kuri Squash................................ In France it is called Potimarron

Slugs got my Black Futsu, Trombas and my Thelma - don't think they will survive OMG! Have rapidly resown them, so fingers crossed.
