Butternut Squash

We have been trying to grow butternut squashes for a few years but they tended to be a bit small.

However this year, possibly due to a mild spring and lots of rain in August, we have grown a decent sized one. It weights in at 1.8kg.

JaneM, whose hands are seen here, is really pleased as it will make a lot of delicious soup which she tells me, in Weight-Watcher terms, is almost completely pointless .
