Pumpkin and the like do go everywhere (which is great ground cooling cover for the fruit trees in summer) but we are now very careful where we walk because of the tiny prickle-hairs!<br /><br />Looking forward to see what you do with these veges. If they can be used like zucc then bonus! :)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413684955650645277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-15438153166571119432013-04-21T14:45:22.551+10:002013-04-21T14:45:22.551+10:00new one on me,I have just got into growing differe...new one on me,I have just got into growing different squashes at the moment so think it will have to go on the list to try,thanksflowerladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723569414963037767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-36884327607143174422013-04-20T13:21:31.830+10:002013-04-20T13:21:31.830+10:00Great vegie to grow I've been growing it for s...Great vegie to grow I've been growing it for several years and saving my own seed and sharing it around.<br />I think I got my first seed from Digger's but I've seen it listed at 4 seasons seeds and The Italian Gardener as Tromba d'Albenga.<br />I've just picked off the one I saved for seed as the vine had died now I hope the seed is viable.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477391749884473229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-90171312180360518652013-04-19T18:33:57.881+10:002013-04-19T18:33:57.881+10:00They look like the funnest vegetable.

I hope they do well in my climate. <br />Just looked on the Kings Seeds and Koanga Garden Seeds sites and they don't sell them.

I use them in place of zucchini. I find they're easier to harvest as you can loop them over your arm or round your neck to carry a mass of them in at once, but more difficult to store as they're so big and twirly.Tracy - The Frugal Farmlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512056232268605853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-36582221615038970882013-04-19T09:49:39.514+10:002013-04-19T09:49:39.514+10:00I'd like to give that a go down here in Tas.

[Italian heirloom] Light green fruits grow long, curving to a bell at one end. Vining plants can be grown on a trellis. Harvest at 8–10 in. long when the flavor is fine and sweet. Vigorous moschata plants can bear all season in areas where insects are a problem for other summer squash. If left to mature, skin will ripen to tan like a butternut squash. Grower Richard Moyer notes that the male squash blossoms sell well at market! Pkt. (3g)<br />Sounds like something that I need to try!

You seem to think it grows well in the wet season - I wonder if it will grow up here in the tropics? I have yet to see any seeds available, but I will definitely be in line if you manage to save some seeds to give it a try up here. I am hoping to try to grow zucchini up trellises this year.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.com
