And there are so many variations! I have some squashes which I have been saving for several months - finally a couple of weeks ago I made a chutney from one. It has to mature for a while but when I hear if people like it I will decide whether to make more or just use all my squashes for soup! Win-win either way!Lady Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050899813793376037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-42925406490556561232021-02-14T21:22:10.620-08:002021-02-14T21:22:10.620-08:00I remember my mother growing some sweet peas at on...I remember my mother growing some sweet peas at one time - the flowers were very pretty.
