OTHER: Golden Hubbard is an heirloom winter squash. The large orange teardrop shaped fruit weighs an average of 12 pounds. Their hard shells make them great for storing, & they can be stored for up to 6 months. The Golden Hubbard is not as sweet as the Blue Hubbard, & has more of a squash taste. Enjoy them in soups, steamed, baked, mashed, or pureed. Hubbard Squash is also very ornamental, & makes a wonderful fall decoration!
