  1. Ive a Waltham butternut squash that I hand pollinated and it weighed 9lb when harvested. We've not cut it open yet and it's in our kitchen still. It was harvested in September 2016. The skin is still pretty perfect on it. I intend to save the seeds from it but don't want to just cut it open yet.
