Ok, I have only been eating squash (butternut only) for about 3 years now, but I have NEVER seen this! I cut it open to get the seeds out and to prepare it for cooking…and what did I find?

Some of the seeds had sprouted and were growing on the inside! “On the inside?” you ask. YES! ON THE INSIDE! I may never see that again! You either, so take a closer look!

I wanted to take it and plant it! Then I realized…It’s November, not May! It would only last a few days since it has already started freezing at night. Not to mention I no longer have anywhere to plant something like that. Oh, well, maybe soon! 🙂
