I was looking at the Cornell ratings for Vegetables. They say on the Rouge Vif D'Etampes, each plant will only bear 2 fruit. Really? First I heard of that.
I don't think you will have any trouble selling the neck pumpkin. Just call it a butternut. Do you haev seeds for the Small Sugar/Pie ? Those would be good sellers too I think.

This area is crawling with small sugar pie pumpkins. They sell well. I don't have seed for them because I've always tried to grow something different.

I have had increadibly good luck selling neck pumpkins here in Indiana, people are just really attracted to that neck and the fact that they are Larger Butternuts.
The only problem that I have had is that if I have neck pumpkins on the table next to butternuts I will hardly sell any butternuts, but that can also be a good thing!

Thanks for responding flowerpower and sorry I didn't see your post sooner Mike.
If interested you should definetly give neck pumpkins a go, they are beuatiful, utilitarian, and delicious to boot.

Did any of you ever try treating squash like fries? Cut 'em up like you would potatoes, and deep fry 'em. Your mind sees what looks like fries, and gets a surprise when you bite' em. Good!!
Cheers

I have never tried that but now that you mention it I will definetly be trying that sometime soon. Is it good with all species of squash? I know I've got a couple of C. Moshatas still in storage right now and the freezer is already full of pulp so I need to use them for something other than seed saving.
