Ok so this is the scoop. I planted a mixed pack of heirloom winter squash seeds I got from Baker Creek.. Out of a 25 ft garden bed I had two things grow.
The Cushaw, which took some effort identifying. I actually picked the first two very immature because I thought they were a tender squash. Not. So they grew like crazy. Huge vines that stretched about 20 ft down hill. I ended up with about 20 to 25 medium to huge squash. This is what I assumed I had. I left my squash on the vine to cure. it turned the color of butternut. ????

Most of the squash I have look a bit like the one in the link. With a large bulbous end and some seeds and stringy stuff like a pumpkin. I grew 3 that looked like the one I showed above. They were huge and long and averaged like 6- 8 inches in diameter but did not have a bulbous end. I picked the last one this morning and it weighed in at 13 lbs. No seeds in it at all. Zip, zero, solid squash.
The second squash was what I believed to be a Lebanese White. I did pick those early, eat tender, chop and treat like a summer squash. They were great. BUT then I was reading my Back to Basics book and they basically said anything on a vine is considered a winter squash and anything on a bush is summer. Well thees were definitely on a vine. So after being bombarded with small white squash for months I left them alone. I had about 10 growing huge. They eventually cured and turned pale yellow. Uhhh Spaghetti Squash????? I don't know. They do cook up stringy.
So I don't know what to say anymore. I started with a mixed pack of squash and ended up with a pantry full. I guess it really does not matter what they are. They taste great an are storing really well.
Oh, by the way. The Cushaw cooks up just like a Butternut. I should have taken a pic of the ones I roasted for dinner. A nice roasted orange color. I just peeled the bit of skin off the outside edge and mushed it up with butter and a bit of brown sugar. It was wonderful.
I am going to try to make a pie with whats left. I fed my family of 5 who love squash and still have about 4-5 cups squash left. Just from the one I baked last night.
So that's about it on those. I will definitely be saving the seeds and planting it again next year.
