Cushaw squash - 35 lbs.

The garden grew some huge cushaw squash.  I'd never seen one much less tasted one.  One was 35 lbs. and one was 24 lbs.  I had wanted to enter the 35 pounder in the fair but the wet soil after an especially rainy week caused the bottom of it to rot so I had to harvest it.  It is delicious.  I'll have to plant more next year.  I'll post pictures, hopefully, later.  I put them on a set of scales to show their weight.
