That's why, I pick mine when they are the diameter of a broom handle when I'm wanting to eat them.

Glad you are taking a break.

The flies are bad this year. Doesn't help that I have given the chickens the run of the entire back, and they of course love to hang out close to the house. There's even poop on the door mat on the patio. I have used fly traps out in the chicken yard in the past. They work pretty well, but sure do stink, which is why the flies like 'em. Not going to hang one by the back patio, so need to start a poop eradication program...

I have a fly trap hanging by the compost pile & it reeks worse than the pile or the chicken run.

How come the chickens dont eat the flys ?

well, seeds were a little hard and skin too but eatable. I burned it which Im sure added to the flavor. LOL

I usually gut the squash so there aren't seeds. And unless it is pretty small I peel it too.

Dont forget to plug your nose. LOL

I had to have the pharmacy at the grocery store order Castor Oil for me, no longer carried on the shelves. I used it to get rid of a wart on my thumb. Worked great, no blood like when I was ripping off the Compound W scabs. Sucker came right back as soon as I stopped the C-W. After killing it off with CO the only "reminder" is a small scar from ripping the C-W scabs.

Doesn't smell. No idea what it tastes like though.

not sure. It was my first one ever . About 6in. but it was fat.

You are a baaaaaaad boy Twist

That is pretty fat for a 6" squash. Yep, seed and peel the next one you get that size.

mine do or at least try. And I know the Muscovy's do.

Castor oil to remove warts ? What did they do, slide off ?
I didnt know about the squash. I should of gutted and peeled I guess. But I only had one.
