There are still one or two squash flowers around brightening the place up on a dull windy day which really does feel like the first day of Winter.
KT left a post to say this picture reminded her of traditional Japanese confectionary. I have just noticed that she has included a link. They really are very beautiful and well worth a look. You can find them here.

Hi Mike,
I have been ejoying yet more of your wonderful photos.
Which one do I like best? it is so hard to choose but the squash flower is superb.
I really should be more adventerous with squashes, butternut and turks turban are about my limit so far but seeing your crop this year is an inspiration I shall explore more varieties for next year.
Bye the way your raspberry compote freezes very well - if you can get it past the fridge that is.
Keep up the good work.
Bye for now.
Regards
Beryl.
Hi Beryl, thanks for your comment. We have liked squashes ever since I first brought a Butternut home from Tesco many years ago never having seen one before.
They have become a traditional part of our Christmas dinner along with Jerusalem Artichokes.
We do freeze the compote occasionally - it's good to have a reminder of good things in the depths of Winter. (Didn't get round to it this year though as no room in the freezer but have just got a lovely new one with loads of space so next year we will be well prepared if it isn't already full of Courgettes & Runner Beans!)
All the best, Mike
