There's a bit of a squash in the pumpkin patch

Thankfully, the monsoon has now passed. Although the climate here is clearly devolved and with a strong divergent trend, it turns out that the overall figures suggest we are still Wetter Together.

While parsnips were the main casualty of the dry spring (ok, I was slightly complacent with the weeding too),  the squash are having a ball after three years of meagre returns. This year's haul harks back to the carefree infeasibly large wheelbarrow-toting harvest of 2010. However, I may need to upgrade my barrow's suspension to move this beast. I have added in the BS5930 recommended indicator of scale for familiarity...

but, since it's being applied outside the reliable calibration range,  you may prefer the the more appropriate farm-yardstick...

Anyone got any good squash recipes?
