A garden success
The weather has been unseasonably warm but that doesn't help me
much since I'm on the north side of a hill and the Sun doesn't get above the tree line now. Still, I get a few tomatoes from time to time (mostly cherry). Chagrined at maiming my zucchini with coffee grounds, I still got my supply of summer squash from a plant variously called Climbing Zucchini,Tromboncino, Trombocino, Zucchetta Rampicante, or Italian Trombone Squash 'Tromba d'Albenga' (Cucurbita moschata) http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/Hor...901752_491.jpg The flavor is like a mild artichoke, to my taste, and the seeds are only found in the bulbous end. It started producing for me in June and there are still small ones developing which I could eat now or wait for possible further growth. It grows on a trellis and doesn't take much space. I've grown it for two years and plan to make it a permanent fixture in my garden. Does anyone have other success stories to tell? -- Billy Republican and Democratic "Leadership" Behind Bars http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article1248.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net |
