Yummy ... this is my Grandson John's FAVORITE yellow veggie. Course,
it ends up on his face more than in his mouth, but he's trying!!! His Mommy makes all his food for him, so he hasn's been privy to all the Gerber and Beechnut baby food. Oops .. sorry ... that's way OT on the OT!!! Jennifer / Poetta www.LadybugLane.com |

YES! I used to grow them and I loved butternut pies. I would use a recipe for pumpkin pies ...the recipe for a pie from fresh pumpkin...and make the butternut squash filling. I lined foil pie pans with aluminum foil, filled the pan with butternut pie mix and covered with foil then into the freezer. I made sure my pans were the size of the already made pie crusts, so all I did was to drop the frozen filling into the crust, allow it to thaw then bake it. Oh, it was so good. You might also go to google and enter "directions for freezing butternut squash. Boo |

My husband barely knows what a pumpkin is. So, since you used to grow them...I have to ask: how hard are they to grow? I can only grow in containers (but we can build large ones) so there is that limitation. What growing zone do they grow in? I'm despairing this year because it's the first time in my life that a big dish of butternut squash isn't going to be on the table for thanksgiving. I'm hoping that maybe I won't be so sad next year if I can grow them myself. Misses all the trappings of home... Becky A. |

Hmmm - I know that you can grow the little pumpkins in containers; I suspect if you keep it well watered, you could do get at least 2-3 squashes per plant. Oh and one plant per container. Just make sure you follow the import rules when you order the seeds. Cheryl |
