About me
My name is Carrie Snyder. I work in an elementary school library. I’m a fiction writer, reader, editor, dreamer, arts organizer, workshop leader, forever curious. Currently pursuing a certificate in conflict management and mediation. I believe words are powerful, storytelling is healing, and art is for everyone.
never heard of a sweet keeper, but I love those words together. Where does the phrase come from?
I think the name comes from its characteristic of keeping a long time in the root cellar. And it is also sweet. Anyway, it’s a lovely looking squash, quite large, dull green outer skin, deep orange flesh. It’s probably known by other names too.
oh! I think I have one of those, actually. I thought it was a hubbard squash, but I don’t much beyond butternut, acorn, and crookneck.
