I have two "Big Max" pumpkin vines going in my garden. I wonder if I'll see any of the squash, come October?
Wow. I have now suffered the ultimate ignominy at the hands of a squirrel. I walked out to the garden this morning, and saw a squirrel escaping over the garden fence with one of the big yellow blossoms from my pumpkin vine!
I called my sister the horticultural expert, and she informed me that both people and rodents consider "squash blossoms" to be a delicacy. That's a new one on me. The only thing I know is that--no blossom, no pumpkin.
