. . . on whether it looks anywhere near this horrible on the inside!
It's supposed to be a Buttercup squash -- renowned for its 'creamy' flesh, perfect for custards! Or something like that. Or it might just be full of bugs. We'll know pretty soon.
I'm really not worried -- it has backup.

At this point, they still had quite a bit of attitude . . .

15 minutes later: OMG! The seed packet wasn't lying:
In fact, it was perfect for custard -- squash rice pudding, to be precise -- we'll definitely be growing these again next year!
