Squash: the canary in the crop field?
Squash usually lasts us through the winter into early spring. They store well so they’re a wonderful source of complex carbs, with flavoursome orange flesh to brighten up meals through the long winter. But to our surprise all our farmers have nearly run out of squash already. So cherish that Delicata in your veg bag: it may be the last one you see this year.
I asked Danny from the Better Food Shed why it has been such a terrible year for squash growers across the country.
