Squash Season

Last Year it was Knuckleheads
A year ago, I saw Knucklehead pumpkins for the first time when I was with friends at the Idylwilde Market in Acton Massachusetts. (Click link to see post)
Fall 2022: I spotted this display at the Bryant Street Market. An image search found American Turks Turban Squash Gourd (Cucurbita Maxima) and you can get ten seeds @$17 to grow your own.
Says they are edible and here’s a recipe link for Turban Squash soup
“ Turban squash encompasses a group of winter squashes known for their turban-like cap or acorn on the blossom end, and these squashes are predominately used as an ornamental to showcase its bright colors, patterns, and unusual shape. There are many varieties of Turban squash inclu Turk’s Turban, French Turban, Mexican hat, Turk’s Cap, American Turban, and Marina di Chioggia.” From the Specialty Produce website
Signs of Fall
Charlie had fun in the pumpkin house at the Franklin Park Conservatory
Spiralized Squash Starts Taste of Summer
Spiralized squash starts taste of summer. My six word Saturday.
Laura got their CSA box (Community Supported Agriculture) this afternoon. Local Harvest of Columbus Ohio lists participating farms. She put the spiralizer to work on the summer squash. Charlie had asked for red sauce for dinner, rotini his favorite pasta shape.
Green-Tipped Straightneck- Organic Baby Squash
Bought from the Farmer’s Market in East Liberty Monday afternoon. In haste. It started to pour. Will get the name of the vendor next week!
Green-tipped straightneck squash and a few baby zucchini. I liked the green-tips which looked as if the squash ends were dipped in green paint.
