Buttercup squash and beach huts

This is the lino so far....Needs tweaking... I'll proof print it this morning...
I couldn't leave you this morning without a look at my wonderful pumpkin patch..... Well, to be truthful, it's the strip of ground just under the conservatory window.  I  planted climbing french beans at the back then, in front the Buttercup squash... With the intention of keeping the weeds down... It worked.

The squash are going mad, I think that they are going to take over the patio with all the rain that we have been having.  That and the contents of my compost bin last spring.... 

It's so exciting to see them all chasing around the patio.....I have no idea what they taste like..... Risotto anyone?  ...... Favorite recipes please......

Can I make chutney out of Buttercup squash? Jam?   Just a thought....

Have  a good day everyone....

  2. Thank you! I think you have identified the mystery pumpkinish plant growing in my garden. I had one of these squashes last year and the seeds must have got into the ground-it is going mad like yours!
