I'm developing an obsession with squashes. It started when I stayed in a farm in France which had magnificent displays of them all around the courtyard. There were so many fantastical and bewildering shapes and colours and textures. I meant to ask for one, but forgot. That led me on a quest to find the seeds for sale on the internet. I've come across wonderous varieties, and ornamental gourds are definitely going to feature in my allotment next year. star shapes, cog wheel shapes, curly shapes, white luminous ones; there is an endless range.
The variety I most fell for has however eluded me. It was half smooth deep orange, and half stone beige roughness, kind of like an angel and a devil combined in squash form. I'm sure its out there somewhere.
