Winter Squash are my favorite annual veggie, keeping us fed all winter. Getting them going in thr garden can be tricky. Crows, rodents, slugs, all enjoy them, and they have delicate stems/roots and don’t like to be transplanted. Here is my strategy for getting a successful start to growing winter squash as well as my three favorite varieties, and why I think they are a must-grow.
My top 3:
Delicata
Burgess Buttercup
Oregon Sweet Meat
CORRECTION: It was brought to my attention that the USDA changed their canning practices around Pumpkin Butter. They NO LONGER APPROVE pressure canning pumpkin butter. If you make Pumpkin Butter, do like I do and freeze it! It freezes great!
It's always a good idea to check the updated canning procedures every year. I am glad someone caught my error! You can find safe canning procedures here: nchfp.uga.edu/...
