This was one of the most famous pictures for the second world war 'Dig for Victory' campaign.
Here's a few of my Winter squashes still nice and firm and dry. To keep a squash or pumpkin through the Winter you must be sure that the variety is a 'Winter squash' as the skins dry and harden enough to keep. Any other varieties will probably have rotted by now. These are Queensland blue squash 'Delicata' and Rouge vif D'Etamps.
