Squash success

I’m not sure if squashes deliberately limi the number of fruit that grow big or not but I seem to have one of these beauties on each plant and the others have hardened off while small. Anyway it’s a Red Kuri which I discovered at the Community Fridge last autumn when nobody was taking them. I thought I’d cook one so I could recommend it and it was totally delicious. It’s been a lot of fun to grow because you can almost see them swelling up - in fact it got stuck in the crook of the support and I had to lever it out.

Weather: 30*C
Covid: rampant
Good thing: more progress clearing the bedroom
A big success..it’s a beauty…love the colour! A triumph in balanced growth!

@happypat it’s amazing it doesn’t pull the plant over. It seemed to thank us for giving it a support- I’ll plan better next year with a proper structure!

This is awesome! I am totally unfamiliar with Red Kuri squash. It looks like a pumpkin growing off the ground. Such a green thumb you have, Judith. Well done!
