Gardening - End of an Era... or Season

Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa. Welcome to another post about gardening.

So... the surprise, unplanned butternut plant has delivered to me one one butternut and this gree far larger than the first one!

This guy is quite a monster when you compare him to the other one!

But it is not the end of this plant. It will not be growing much further or makig any new fruit... its busy dyin off. Time to clean up and plan an autumn/winter crop!

Thank you for reading my post!

Cheers!

Nice sizeable butternut harvest those taste so good done in tinfoil with a dab of butter, cinnamon in an open fire.

Cut stalk out neatly find a spoon to bale those pips out fill center with dollop of butter, sprinkle cinnamon, plug with stalk and roll in tinfoil, that easy!

Dry pips out for another day of planting !LOLZ

!WINEX to the garden.

Peanut butter are really cool veggies to grow in summer they produce both fruit and seeds which are very tasty when roasted.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this butternut. This looks very similar to pumpkin.

So we call it a "Butternut" for short but it is actually a "Butternut squash". If that gives you an idea of what it is.
