Oh, I LOVED that story about the Butternut Squash! I grow ‘Honeynut’ which is a smaller version of the squash itself, but still a big viner, so you need room to grow it.
Maybe I’ll tap you to post more ‘Veggie Tales’ for the winter months?
Don’t every do anything well around here; I’ll ask you to keep doing it, Right Pete? LOL!

Never heard of it? What is the difference in taste and DTH (days to harvest)? Interesting.

Hey, exploration and industriousness is good - if aligned with God's purposes (thus worship of God, not creation). And I want to convert an old cement mixer into a composter!
But how about These cold-hardy vegetables may stick it out through winter... the hardiest vegetables that can withstand heavy frost of air temperatures below 28 include spinach, Walla Walla sweet onion, garlic, leeks, rhubarb, rutabaga, broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, cabbage, chicory, Brussels sprouts, corn salad, arugula, fava beans, radish, mustard, Austrian winter pea and turnip.
Semi-hardy vegetables that can withstand light frost of air temperatures in the range of 28 to 32 degrees include beets, spring market carrots, parsnip, lettuce, chard, pea, Chinese cabbage, endive, radicchio, cauliflower, parsley and celery. For beets, spring market carrots and parsnips, the tops will die but the roots will tolerate lower temperatures.
