They were different shapes too and just as orange on the inside. Made beautiful pie. Also great for pumpkin muffins. My chickens love squash. Or just save it in your freezer in case you don't get or don't want to grow winter squash next year, use that garden space for something else.

Bet your hens wouldn't care shape or size. Bet that pie smelled wonderful. Alas, I shall have to purchase a couple butternuts for winter use this year. Only 29F this morning. We are a week later than normal frost date so am thinking the annuals are going to be toast when the sun comes up.<br />Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-57466291313437004012013-10-24T05:45:37.055-05:002013-10-24T05:45:37.055-05:00There's an idea; I wonder if the cow would eat...There's an idea; I wonder if the cow would eat the squash?<br /><br />I grew Long Island Cheese one year and they produced like your Blue Hubbard. I even canned some for pies. Supposedly that is what is used for canned pumpkin rather than what we call pumpkin.<br /><br />I will not be making 50 pies. This one turned out fine but maybe three pumpkin pies a year would do us. gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-35274298516056665102013-10-23T22:00:00.213-05:002013-10-23T22:00:00.213-05:00The flesh of that squash looks wonderful!

Who but you would even suggest 50 pies? ;) I have a wheelbarrow-full of butternut again this year, but also planted a few seeds of Blue Hubbard. YIKES! Just 7 or 8 seeds produced twenty 15-lb to 25-lb squash!! Sometime between here and November I'll cut one open and make something to evaluate, and decide if they're worth storing. There are enough butternuts for all our reasonable squash needs, so if the hubbards aren't amazing, the cows, sheep and pigs will all get a share over the next few months. I'm actually thinking of tilling up a little more space and growing a pile of 'em on purpose for the livestock next year.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00625403842464223602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679123700391465393.post-11472206352522043592013-10-23T20:50:30.317-05:002013-10-23T20:50:30.317-05:0050 pies...wow!

You sure got a lot of squash put away. Have you made breads using squash?<br /><br />Happy Autumn ~ FlowerLady (Lorraine)FlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.com
