Just when I think there can't be another type of seed I need this spring, I always come up with "just one more" plant I would like to try. I still would like to find a winter squash to add to this year's garden. Any suggestions?

Seed inventory and more dreaming of spring
Gardeners in warmer zones may be starting seeds indoors soon. I'm still just dreaming of spring. Today I'm enjoying a good cup of coffee and looking over my seeds in front of a warm fire. We already have a nice selection of vegetable, herb and flower seeds ready to start under the lights in our basement. We are especially looking forward to trying a watermelon from seeds saved from a variety my father-in-law grew this past year. Our favorite plants have been from seeds shared by friends and family. Those seeds bring forth special memories and wonderful plants. Just when I think there can't be another type of seed I need this spring, I always come up with "just one more" plant I would like to try. I still would like to find a winter squash to add to this year's garden. Any suggestions?

You should get some Buttercup Squash seeds from your father-in-law. :-) They are some of the best tasting squash we've ever had... I grew some of my own last year from his seed.
I am going to try Delicata & Kabocha Squash this year. I have heard really good things about the Delicata, it is also know as the sweet potato squash. Stringless flesh that is sweet & dry.
On your note about the Amenian Cucumber, I was corresponding with west coast seeds and they said they had a crop failure last year too. It must have been a bad year for them. Thanks for the heads up about the taste.
Delicata is one of the varities I have been considering. It sounds worth trying.
Looks like you have a nice selection of seeds so far. The ones from family and friends make for nice memories in the garden.
