The Candy Roaster Squash

I didn't grow this, but I was inspired to save the seeds.  This is a candy roaster squash (N. Georgia variety, as there are apparently different squashes with that name).






It roasted up to over 2 lbs of squash puree, half of which I used to make a tart/pie (and I froze the other half).






Compare to Starla's shape & size:


I bought some metal utility tubs at Tractor Suppy, on sale for $18 each. They should be big enough to grow these.  I had such trouble with my summer squash though that I plant to get some kind of bug netting/fabric to keep out the borers, which I think were the cause of my other squashs' failure.
