Dog for scale. One Blue Hubbard Squash seedling produced one single giant winter squash.
So big it needed a sling as it decided to grow over the A-frame trellis. That's, like, a 10-15lb squash! The stem broke off while we tried to place it in the sling, so we had to mature it the rest of the way in the garden. A few months later it still looks pretty good!
Early in the vine's life, a squash vine borer drove through the start of the stem. This should've killed the plant, but it kept growing!
In fact, it wasn't done growing until we started hitting winter weather and I pulled it out!
