Blue Hubbard...

[Anthony_Toronto]

Pic of my first (and biggest) Blue Hubbard. Appears to be doing what it is supposed to do!! But others on the plant are lagging very far behind. With a variety that gets large like this one, should I be allowing multiple squash to form on the same vine, or should I be culling? I think this plant has 2 or three main vines growing out of it, plant is doing very nicely...one vine has 4 or 5 squash growing, the other has one or two, but there is another squash (on the second vine) just adjacent to this big one on the first vine, and it is still not much larger than a baseball. Because of space limitations I planted another Blue Hubbard in a large container along a sunny fence, but wow that plant is a lot smaller, and a squash that was pollinated quite early is growing like molasses, is maybe 1/10 the size of this one. Next year no container growing (have a Red Kuri in another large container, also pales in comparison to a Red Kuri in the ground.

Hi! My one Blue Hubbard had 6 or 7 fruits, the smallest was 4kg.
Never grown this sort before but I´ve heard it is cuttable around Xmas: the skin is so hard.
