I love that it keeps for a long time too. The best winter squash I've ever tasted is Red Kuri. I've never grown it, and it's not easy to find in stores, but it is fabulous! So delicious. I love butternut too.garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-68333591596379058042008-02-10T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-10T13:38:00.000-05:00I had such poor luck with zukes last summer -- it ...I had such poor luck with zukes last summer -- it was quite unexpected! I definitely would like to grow some different ones this year -- do the unusual varieties instead of the standard ones.

I always over plant everything, and I wind up putting stuff on people's porches in the dark of night. <BR/><BR/>Right now, it is cabbages that I am sharing. I don't make sauerkraut, so I don't know how to preserve it. I do have an excellent recipe for freezer slaw, but my freezer isn't big enough, and we are only 2 peeps here.

I think the previously mentioned Madga is one of these. I've always liked the patty pan varieties too - they look funky sliced lengthwise and sauteed, or with the top sliced off and stuffed.Entangledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261805004615133289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-16392770546463277092008-02-09T14:41:00.000-05:002008-02-09T14:41:00.000-05:00Those cue ball zukes look very appetizing.
