Winter squashes represent the generous bounty of the garden ~ we love how they are built to last for a long winter's good eating!
Here are our favorites, emphasizing some of the rare old heirlooms that need to be preserved! These first four squashes are Ark of Taste selections, too:
Amish Pie Pumpkin: perfect pie pumpkin, can grow quite large, keeps very well
Boston Marrow: Native American heirloom named to the Ark of Taste for its exceptionally flavorful orange flesh
Green Striped Cushaw: another Native American heirloom, very popular at market for its elegant coloring and crookneck shape
Sibley Squash
Italian Butternut Rogosa Violina Gioia: named for its violin shape -- sweet, all-purpose orange flesh.
Marina di Chioggia: intense blue-green Italian heirloom, turban-shaped, great for pies and baking.
Queensland Blue: beautiful Australian heirloom, golden-fleshed, mid-sized.
Rouge Vif d'Etampes
Seminole Pumpkin: small, wild squash from the Everglades, hardy, productive, and delicious.
Upper Ground Sweet Potato: endangered heirloom that needs reviving! Can thrive in harsh conditions, and a good keeper.
