I’ve used frozen butternut squash and it works just fine! The recipe that I use is on Foodland Ontario - Squash and Apple Soup with Maple.
I also like Michael Smith’s Sweet Potato Soup 🥣

Scotland runs a great program for cutting and planting of seedlings. ON used to do this. In northern ON l, along with others, helped restore tree clearings by planting seedlings and collecting pine cones, with some renumeration.
Now Ford won’t plant trees and he sure is in a hurry to cut them down.

I’m not sure about Juho. My ancestors came from New Finland to work in ON. Some moved to Sudbury and area, some worked in the mines.
You probably were researching the Finns that settled in that area to start?
