Yesterday was windy but not too wet, so we brought all our squash in off the field, to cure their skins in a polytunnel, and lay them out for winter storage. We harvested 667kg yesterday, which very almost fills the wooden staging along the southern edge of our propagation polytunnel. There are several different varieties - crown prince, jack-be-little, jack-o-lantern, uchiki kuri, sweet dumpling, butternut, turk's turban, and green hokkaido. The first few will be in veg boxes this Friday, and there will be plenty in the shop from next Monday (in time for Halloween) through the winter.
