Here is a photo of my "Melonette" winter squash in 2015. There was a lot of fruit, so I clipped off a few so the others would get large. Large is better with squash if you ask me. "Melonette" is an unusually sweet, fairly small squash, with netting. I got the seeds from Baker Creek some years ago. Average weight for me is 3 lb. 9 oz.

That is just dried coarse wild grass clippings from our country property. Yes, you can use melonette squash to make a "pumpkin" pie, only it will taste richer & sweeter. For a nondessert dish, I cut them in half, place them face down in a cooking dish with a bit of water, and let it bake at 350 deg. till soft. Or you can just throw the whole thing in the oven, then after it's baked and cooled down, the skin comes off real easy.
