SQUASH

Sweet dumpling-Has orange flesh and is very sweet and tender. Has orange flesh.

Carnival (multicolor sweet dumpling) -The delicious yellow meat is reminiscent of sweet potatoes and butternut squash and can be baked or steamed then combined with butter and fresh herbs. Also great in soups.

Vegetable Spaghetti-has a noodle like texture. Eat it with your favorite pasta sauce.

Sunshine -Bright orange flesh. Tender stringless flesh, and provides a sweet nutty flavor. Good for pies, soups, or baking,

Grey Ghost -Sweet, thick, and dry.

Buttercup- Has a rich, creamy and sweet flavor. Flesh is orange.

Butternut- sweet, nutty taste. Has orange fleshy pulp. Butternut is a common squash used in making soup because it tends not to be stringy.

Acorn- sweet, yellow-orange flesh. Good for winter storage, keeping several months in a cool dry location such as a cellar.

Red Kuri -Smooth textured flesh. Good for pies. It's meatier than most of the other squashes as it has less water content. Less water content makes the taste that much more rich.

Blue Hubbard-medium dry and sweet. Yellow flesh. Stores well. The extra-hard skins make them one of the best keeping winter squashes. The yellow flesh of these tends to be very moist and longer cooking times in the oven are needed. They are generally peeled and boiled, cut up and roasted, or cut small and steamed or sautéed. It's perfect for pies.
