I find all fruits and veggies taste better "homegrown". Doesn't have to be "my home" but "close". For example I have never, ever grown a good melon but I'll buy from a local roadside stand before the grocer. Funny how my phone rings in 'mater season..."Oh just wondered how you've been doing? Did you grow any tomatoes this year?"
As if I'd quit! LOL!
I always try to grow a little more than I want or plan to save, I enjoy gifting or swapping with friends, family, and neighbors. My Grandma had a quote about a garden "not being happy unless it's shared". I believe there's a bit of truth in that.
My preference in winter squash is butternut. Two years without, this is a timely reminder!
