Cucurbita, Hubbard Squash, Winter Squash 'Blue Hubbard'

I just grew Hubbard Squash, in Southwest Idaho. The squash so far have grown to a very large size in a very short time once they appeare...Read Mored. I added commercial top soil to my raised bed, and supplemented with many of the remains of trout I catch easily up here. Very warm temps lately, in the 90's. Kept well watered. One typical squash weighs over eight pounds. They are still producing, and it remains to be seen how they taste or how long they keep. These plants took over their entire area. Will grow them again next year.

Delicious squash. As for production, i was only able to get a couple from each plant because the SVB's did a real number on them. I used ...Read Morethem to make pumpkin pies, and I must say the flesh cooked down into the silkiest filling ever.

Wow, mine has got to be at least 35 pounds! That's the biggest one though, but it is the star of the garden along with the 15' sunflowers!

Great taste and a good lon keeper...melody mentioned "the hard rind is a bit daunting"...I have a few mouse tooth prints on my blue hubba...Read Morerds this year but they gave up on trying to eat them......
