ORIGINAL: Phoenixpower thanks for the translation Steven *blush* Never heard cukes and summer squash before...only know butter squash... But I sooooooo can't wait to get a spade into my hands again[:D] Cukes is just short for cucumbers. Summer squash is a bunch of squashes. Zucchini, straightneck, crookneck, and patty pan are the most popular. Butter squash could be either butternut or buttercup. They're winter squash, like pumpkins or acorn squash - few fruits with hard rinds and thick, flavorful flesh - as opposed to summer squash, which are unbelievably prolific, soft-rinded, and mild flavored. Seriously, thank you very much Steven....I am really amased about such names straightneck etc....as I never heard them....and I see, cukes a short version for cucumbers makes sense [:)]
