    I think this is true about many types of fruit at the store. I've noticed apples and peaches that have no smell also have no taste.

    I have also noticed when a cantaloupe is ripe you can smell it in the garden.

    This is good to know! I've been tempted to give this a try.

    I have grown Charleston Gray and Carolina Rattlesnake. Both are sweet and get large. Had a few Rattlesnake go over 60 lbs. This was on a vine with lots of room, well fed and fruit thinned to 2 melons per vine. I continued to save seed from the 2 largest to grow the next year. I may still...

    Good luck with the yellows! All in one bed I have a couple plants each of pumpkin, butternut squash, watermelon and cantaloupe. The vines all run together. The cantaloupe is always ready first. Have to be careful picking those. I am seeing die back now in that bed. I will be harvesting pie...

    I know. I need to fix that. Heck, I have barely grown the green ones this year. Dang weather! I do have enough for a couple meals I just picked. Will process those today. They are still making blooms so maybe I will get more.

    I have never grown yellow wax beans. I have purchased many other seed types from Twilley's Seed in SC. They ship fast. https://twilleyseed.com/

    My chickens love pumpkin. They peck until the rind is paper thin. It makes the egg yolks very orange. They also seemed to enjoy the butternut squash last year. It colored up the yolks as well.

    I was only kidding about the porch drop offs. I am retired but DH takes produce to work sometimes. They are quickly taken especially any cucumbers or tomatoes. We also give to family members and friends. I have one hill of zucchini with 3 plants. 1 hill of yellow squash with 3 plants. The...

    Seriously? Well, I wear a disguise with a wig and big dark glasses, sort of like Elton John. I moon walk backwards to the porch. Quickly drop the bag behind me, never completely turning around. Then skeee daddle! So far...so good! 🤫

    That makes me want to prune my watermelon vines next year. I mostly grow pie pumpkins now but have in the past grown some larger ones. I've noticed the same about seed size. Giant pumpkins usually have the largest seeds.

    In watermelons, I have read that cutting the vines back encourages ripening. Although I've not tried this I wonder if it is true for pumpkins and other winter squash.

    Peace in the coop is always a blessing! Occasional chaos in my coop at the moment. 1 of the young cockerals has decided he will attempt to show his stuff. His crow has gotten better and he has been practicing his mating dance. It needs work. The older hens will just stare at him with...
