Invasion of the Triffids?

What is this invading our parched lawn?


It is some Uchiki Kuri winter squash plants, also known as Onion squash, Japanese squash, Orange Hokkaido,  or Red Kuri squash, . Those in the front garden have some nicely swelling fruits already.


"With butter-coloured flesh that is smoother than butternut squash, this teardrop-shaped squash with an intense, sunset-coloured rind has a pronounced, distinctive chestnut flavour."

A new challenge for Tassel Enterprises, then, will be what to make from them when they are ready. Kuri Squash soup, anybody?
