to tackle the largest Lakota squash we grew this past Summer!
Instead of using a large kitchen knife it occurred to Mr G that
his hand saw would do a much better and a much safer job.
(Or you can roast them, they are delicious).
The above Lakota is a 10th generation squash from our field.
Large pieces will be baked at 350 degrees for one hour and a half.
The meat will be soft and creamy, like mashed potatoes.
Individual packages of baked squash are frozen to use in breads, soups and as vegetable side dishes.
They will provide many meals.
You can't just grow a few squash. Our ducks, geese and ground critters all like the little seedlings in the Spring. So we grow many plants hoping for only a few survivors but often end up with too many.
Next year come by and when you see boxes of squash at the top of our lane, please help yourself.
