That's interesting RF. I eat the skin on all squashes apart from butternut and crown prince - I don't like the texture of those 2.

Have made the butternut Squash skin into soup in a pressure cooker (love my pressure cooker), then used a hand blender to liquid use it. Ya wouldn’t know the texture. If it is baked it is like a chip to me

I've done that RF and still find the texure "plasticky", as did a couple of my pals I tested it on. I eat all bits of things where possible. I like the grainy skin of sweet dumpling, onion squash etc and will eat that skin straight from the oven.
Cider sounds lovely! One day I hope to have my own place (not a rental in dusty disrepair) and get my fermentation on big-time.

Ahhh RS - if you were near me, I'd be asking for your butternut squash skins
The fermentation takes about 1-2 months. Still working thru the apples had from autumn

Have just crushed & mixed egg shells, banana skins and coffee grounds as a bit of food for my house plants.

Lots of produce from the garden.
Getting ready for winter:
I have been freezing my black berries so that I can grab a handful in winter and add to stuff like porridge etc
Have been freezing my beans; and grating my courgettes and freezing them as well.
Herbs - cut and freeze
What are your tips for extending the life of vegetables and berries.

I just lacto-fermented baby cucumbers, but they'll get eaten soon!

Berries - freeze them if you have space.
