I think so. In a pinch, if I need a male flower, all squash blooms are game. Yesterday, I ran over to my neighbor's pumpkin patch (with his prior permission) to grab a couple o blooms to try to hand pollinate my butternut and yellow squash. Not sure if that worked. But in the past, I have successfully used different squash to pollinate each other when only one produced a male bloom and everything else had female blooms.
I've never heard of this..... I'm intrigued!
I heard it was pretty dry in the days of prohibition, but I did not think one beer would be a record breaker. Reminds me of high school class parties where someone sneaks in a 6-pack and everyone swears they got drunk.
Squash/pumpkin blossoms are edible. My neighbor really likes them. Last year they told me how to make them, but I was out of one ingredient (can’t remember which one) in their recipe, so I looked up recipes and found one that used a batter vs using dry breading. But, pick fresh blossoms (go out in the morning). Remove middle stamen (part with pollen). If not preparing until dinner, place in a container with a damp paper towel or Damp cloth. When ready, follow whichever recipe you choose to pan fry. They cook quickly. They are lightly flavored, a but sweet. My spouse was “Meh, it ok” , my kid refused to try, but I liked them. I tried the recipe neighbor uses -a dry breading, but preferred the batter method. Sorry don’t have a particular recipe, as I looked one up last year. I’ll see if neighbor can text me their recipe.
Maybe tomorrow Ican get to the front yard.
I do that too!Weeding the blueberries was not on my list. So when I came in, I wrote it on the list and then crossed it off.
There are fruitless (male) mulberry trees.
5% isn't strong enough. Some nurseries sell 20% vinegar as weedkiller, but it is expensive.
I live nowhere near Texas but want to take a road trip to Canton First Monday some time, since I love swap meets and have been to most of the good ones in California.
