Polytunnels can be hazardous places during squash season! Penny trains the squash vines up string and then hangs them over the polytunnel's internal structure so if you're not looking where you're going, you may end up with a sore head. There are so many varieties of squash, each with unique colours, textures and tastes. This year, Penny has grown delicate, tromboncino, red onion, musque de Provence, blue banana and Victor. Take a look at our stories to see Penny talking through the varieties. All squash fall into two categories – winter and summer varieties and the difference is nothing to do with when they are grown; all squashes are warm weather plants that will not tolerate freezing temperatures. The varieties above are winter squash, so called because the fruit of these plants are often not ready for harvest until the end of the summer and many types will store very well so they can be eaten in the winter. The fruit of winter squashes is also larger in many cases and they are vine plants and will spread throughout the garden. #squash #autumnveg #seasonalveg #eattheseasons #organic #organicveg #savourtheseason #VegRevolution #organicseptember
