"Wild" Pumpkin Vine Question
"Elaine" wrote in message
news Hi everybody! Here's a question... I've got a "wild" pumpkin vine that was growing in my foxglove bed. I moved it to a decomposing log pile and leaf area . Anyway my brother "the farmer of the family" said it would never have orange pumpkins, just green ones. Anybody know if this is true? BTY It likes it's new home and is running all over the place. I get volunteers like this from time to time, probably from the compost. The seeds are so hard, so they'll stay good but won't germinate until the compost is spread out over the garden. One year it really was a mystery squash. The fruit was relatively large, like a pumpkin, but it had white streaks in it, like a delicata. Since grocery varieties might be hybrids, this could have been one of the ancestors of whatever we bought at the store. It doesn't matter, it tasted just fine. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky http://www.bicyclemeditations.org/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |
