It was a tough Winter for these rare beauties, but these are some of the success stories from the first season of seed saving ultra rare squash from around the world.
These are part of an effort to save some of the world’s rare food crops from extinction.
My love of food and cultures have taken me around the world, dropping me into my current location in Hawaii. I have been loving cooking, photography, gardening, baking, and outdoor adventuring, since back when I was filling a Girl Scout sash with badges. My locations may change, and my activities continue to grow in number, but deep down inside, I still love curling up with a good book, squealing about in a classic car, and making stick-to-your-ribs meals out of homegrown goods.
