Thinking about trying these, they are 99p for 6 on amazon, would I be too late this year as the listing calls them winter squash.

Anyone also tried the taste

Hi BQ

I tried these the year before last.  I think you should be okay to put them in by mid June latest.  I personally didn't like the taste and found them too bland.  I roasted each half in the oven with a generous helping of butter and salt / pepper but just found them a bit boring for my tastes.  I've gone with patty pan squash this year but it won't be going out for a week or so yet.

I tried the variety Stripetti F1 (another spagetti squash) - I wasn't sure when to harvest so I picked a few that seemed big enough and despite following cooking instructions, I didn't get the spagetti strands but mashed with butter and pepper, and I thought they were very tasty.  However, the mature squash were not that wonderful.

Well...... I ordered some to try. I thought they maybe good for Florence to try, she does bland very well. Will get them going as soon as they arrive, hoping it's not too late. Should I start them off indoors or in the cold frame .

I like them - scraped out and fried with a little butter and garlic they make a tasty substitute for pasta.

I got about a dozen of these from two plants:

They look good, I'll keep you posted on this one.

I grew spaghetti squash last year with great sucess it was a first for me. They need a big area as they are huge.
 
The main problem was I had too many and gave loads away and had to make spaghetti squash and pineapple jam to use them up when we could face eating anymore!

Carb free spaghetti win, win,

Just hope I am not too late. The seeds won't be here for a few days.

Plenty of time still for squash. A week or two indoors, a week or two hardening off, then straight out into nice weather.  That's my plan, anyway!

Off to sow a few Spaghetti Squash. I would like one to go out if I can find the space

I told hubby I ordered some more seeds for him and his reply was, if it's on amazon you can just cancel. The plot is mine for courgettes. And so the war begins 

Spagetti or courgettes who will win.

 I grew spaghetti squash last year,I had 6 plants which produced about 30 squash .

 Some were the size of a rugby ball most smaller.

 They spread over quite a large area ,and were virtually left to do their own thing .

 I made a frame with chicken wire ,and they climbed to about 7 ft tall ,whle others trailed on the ground

Babbyann, you don't see the strands until after they're baked, and after you take a fork or spoon and loosen them from the 'walls'. Otherwise it looks like a solid block of squash. Once you start scraping the baked walls, the strings come away and they're fabulous with some pesto and parmesan. YUMMMM. As said, no carb 'pasta'.

I have 2 seeds growing in a single pot and OH accidentally brought them outside for me to plant, so I did and I placed a poly dome over them. Our weather dropped dramatically and we had snow flurries for a few days but so far the squashes are happy under their dome. Goes to show that sometimes nature can fool you.

Mine arrived today, amazing since i only ordered yesterday, they are now in the soil well 12 of them are.
