Now the only thing to find out with this bountiful harvest of squash is if they are ripened enough for human consumption.I haven't checked yet. I'm afraid.

About Me
I live with my husband on a small homestead in Northern Minnesota. Our daughter currently lives in a small cabin in the woods not too far from us.
Our place is located outside a small town and a two and a half hour's drive from the nearest big city. Trips to the city are infrequent, well-planned, and exhausting!
We currently raise chickens and have hives of honey bees. Raising some of our meat and most of our fruits and vegetables is a priority for us; so, along with our birds for meat and eggs, we have fruit trees, berry patches and a huge vegetable garden.
Quilting is my passion, and I could happily spend each day in my quilt studio if I weren't happily spending each day out in the garden. Good thing we have winters up here; Mother Nature helps keep my life balanced.

Oh...I got all excited thinking they were pie pumpkins at first! Rats!
They should be fine. If not that is what they make spices for.
If they aren't edible, you can always use them as seasonal decoration. That's the best use for squash anyway :)
They just HAVE to be edible. By something...;0)
Can't wait to find out! I hope they're ready!
I'm sure they're GREAT! They look wonderful...
Apple Pie Gal - Yup, others have thought they we pumpkins, too, but that's what the Red Kuri Squash look like. Supposedly (if they're ripe!) these make excellent "pumpkin" pies.
jane - Now you're a gal who obviously knows how make something work! ;o)
Jen - Stop it! Squash are deelish! (If they're ripe. Sigh.) I have two inside as decorations right now. And between daughter and me, if they are inedible, we'll use them as pretend-pumpkins for decoration all over. (There are at least 25 of them.)
Susan - Well, I know the geese will eat them. They'll eat any veggie from the garden!
Erin - Me too, me too, me too!
Patty - Oh, I hope so!
What kind are they? Will they store through the winter for you? Looks like a wonderful crop. :)
They look so good! I know you'll enjoy them a bunch.
Kelly - They are Red Kuri . . . my very favorite. If they are mature, they'll store for a few months in a cool, dry environment. On the floor of our bedroom closet works pretty good for us. IF by chance they are mature when I check them (will do so one of these days soon), because there are over 25 (and they're BIG) of them, I'll give some away, keep some for storage and eating, and cook some up as they're supposed to be good for pumpkin pies and such although I've never had enough to use that way before.
Leigh - Let's just hope looks aren't deceiving!
Squash here are growing with good Quantity people used it for their Purpose.They make the Wine from it.They are been used for the various purposes.
