The story about the squash is pretty cool. It might be enough to get a frenzy going to obscenely over price the seeds for a season or two. I wonder how it tastes.
I watched the video and shuddered at that guys knife skills. I'm surprised he didn't lose a finger.

That is pretty cool indeed. Would love to try growing it to see what an 800-year old squash tastes like. There must be some interesting genes to work with in that squash as well.

That's pretty cool looking for a squash. Anyone know days to maturity? It looks like a long season one to me

I haven't seen anything that lists the days to maturity, but the seeds were found in Wisconsin, so it can't be too long.

That makes a lot more sense than the original story.

That makes a lot more sense than the original story. Yeah, and i wondered as much too. Although he say's that he grew a different thousands year old squash that was small and round. If that story is true it's still remarkable. And even if that big squash is not a recovered artifact it still looks like a good squash worth growing. it resembles an older form of banana squash to me.
