Ooh, Matron!
Ok, so it's not exactly anything to do with wildlife, but I thought this might raise a smile.gif "Smile")
I am holding a still-growing 'Sicilian Serpent Squash'. They can grown up to 2 metres long. I don't think this one grew much longer but it did thicken out quite a bit. I love the name, and can just imagine 'Sicilian Serpents' taking the place of 'etchings' in gardeners' chat up lines
Crumbs, don't think I've seen one of those before Louise, do they taste like a normal marrow/courgette?
I don't like squash or turnups or marrows. Psrsnups are ok
and yes wow that is a cracker.

It is courgette-ish, but firmer, less watery and with a much better taste. Of preference you should have them when they are smaller, but when they are bigger you need to peel them and discard the centre with the seeds. I love them. Unfortunately this year's weather has rather held them back a bit so I'm not sure if I will be able to get such a big one this year.
Chocky - you wouldn't like my garden produce then - I have 16 or 17 squash plants of various sorts!!!
Uhg Don't like any of those. I was made to sit and stare at them till tea time when I was little if I didn't eat them
Only uncooked chuchum in a peanut butter sandwich.
