Default Anybody pick baby pumpkins for use as summer squash?

I'm thinking about planting a hill or two of cushaws this year instead
of zucchinis. I've never grown them before and I have a packet of seeds
that I bought last year mocking me... They are supposed to be prolific,
and I don't need that many pumpkins.

I seem to recall Ma making a mock apple pie in _Little House on the
Prairie_ using a green pumpkin :-)

Thanks,
Bob


Marrows and squash are generally eaten quite immature but in my view pumpkins
need to ripen to be tasty. Try it, you won't poison yourself, but I don't
think you will like it.
