It's not even Winter yet Tetley! Are you sure you didn't grow Autumn squash? Even though I only got 1 or 2 from each plant this year, I still expect to have some stored for use in February, a time of the year when you really appreciate having home-grown veg. available.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I bought butternut squash seedlings in good faith from http://www.delfland.co.uk/ Bob. They look, and act, like butternut squash that you'd buy from a supermarket except that the skins are more tender. You can roast in the skin (without peeling) and eat as is.
Our butternuts have also been v poor this year but courgettes/marrows OK and mini-pumpkins q good. Tomatoes, on the other and have been brilliant. Some you win...
My tomatoes all got blight in August so I didn't win at them either but have had fab spuds, climbing/runner beans, sweet corn, courgettes, broad beans, rhubarb, apples, onions, herbs, all the small salad stuff and sprouts are looking great so not been a bad year, if only I could solve the problem of all those lovely squash just dying on me.

Boo hoo! Good old Aldi.
Just had another half for me tea and didn't bother to peel this time, baked in its own skin and it was great, sorry!
