Is there any place online to buy those big winter squash melons online? You can send me an email at dannykidd11@gmail.com
Sorry, Danny, I don’t know of any online source for the grown squash – just the seed. You should be able to find them in specialty grocery stores and some health food stores. If you have a Whole Foods by you, they sell quite a variety.
