Heard this Splendid Table episode on the radio today. Quite a few interesting varieties mentioned.
Cucumber that's not bland

I know a lot of people like larger squash but I really liked the description of those smaller ones at row7seeds. Have some in my seed box right now. I'll be adding them into my winter squash mix this year. I like cooking a whole squash and eating it all in a single meal and I really like growing them off the ground on trellises or even in the trees.
