Squashes and pumpkins are in the cucurbit family, being closely related to courgettes, melons and cucumbers. They grow from large, vibe-like plants and bear fruit in summer and autumn. Squashes are broadly separated into two categories: summer squash and winter squash. Summer squash include patty pan squash and are ready to harvest in summer. Winter squash include pumpkins and butternut squash, and are ready to harvest in autumn for eating into winter. Advertisement Squashes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from traditional pumpkin shapes to smaller, elongated and round fruits. They vary in colour, too, with green, yellow and bluish varieties. Some cultivars have blotched skin, while others are elegantly ribbed. They all have subtle differences in flavour, too.

In last spring’s cloistered, Covid existence, the vegetable garden took centre stage, and sharing my successes and failures online became a social connection to a like-minded community.
