For the pumpkin lovers :) I bet this baby doubles in size every couple of
days.

Let it get about 3 times that size, then serve it like Zucchini. :-)

Baby pumpkin with small seeds before it begins to mature makes a very
edible steamed squash!

Mom taught me that. ;-d

Well now, I never heard nor thought of that.

Thank you very much! :-)

Mom surprised me with it one day when she'd heard it on a gardening show.
It was delish'!

I agree - what a great idea! These vines sprawl about 10 feet in all
directions - I had no idea a pumpkin plant could be so invasive! And it
can't actually support all the pumpkins it tries to set, so I think I will
indeed try this.
