This is our vegetarian turkey, alias Hubbard squash. Isn't it amazing that the vine can support this heavy squash? It must weigh 10 lbs. or more. I can remember seeing squash vines growing on top of a shed and squash hanging from the vines that were draped over the shed. These squash are good keepers, they will keep til the summer. Their skin is very hard and using a hatchett to open them is common. The squash is at it's sweetest in Feb. and onward.
