No but it looks great to grow for Halloween. I have got to put it on my list. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)

Re: Galeux D'Eysines
I grew it in 2017 and was so impressed by this variety! They were beautiful and delicious. Galeux D'Eysines is on my short-list to grow this summer. It was a risk growing it here (short season) but we had a long, warm Fall in 2017 that allowed the squash to develop beautifully on the vine.

Re: Galeux D'Eysines
I tried to grow it once (I believe in 2017 with free seeds from Baker Creek), but it wasn't a good year for winter squash in that ground (or else something was amiss), and we had a crop failure. The summer squash did better.

Re: Galeux D'Eysines
How much space would you need to grow it? It is really hard for me to grow pumpkin in South Florida. We did once (Seminole) but it took up 1/3 of the yard and had a HOST of problems but we did harvest a few. Not at all successful on other attempts. This is where Northern growers shine.

Re: Galeux D'Eysines
Me? Hmm. In my garden the plants probably don't grow nearly as big as they would in Florida. I mean, I can grow fifteen kinds of watermelon in a fairly small space (but I hear that might take over the garden in the southeastern USA).MsCowpea wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:54 pm How much space would you need to grow it?

The squash for me didn't get a large plant for a squash, but neither did the others that year (unless you count Dark Star zucchini and Tatume). Some did get bigger than it, though (like Amish Pie squash). Now this year, Cushaw White got huge! Pumpkins we've grown in the past have gotten pretty big plants.
So, if the plants were healthy, I'd guess I'd need about a 6' x 3' stretch to grow Galeux D'Eysines. If they were even more healthy, maybe more land.
