Judy Evans @JudyEv (382044) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Apr

I wrote about the giant palm tree that has separate male and female trees. Pumpkins have male and female flowers. I was researching why it might be that I have no baby pumpkins on my vines. Apparently, the male flowers appear...

Anyone for a scone?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382044) • Rockingham, Australia 2 May 17

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382044) • Rockingham, Australia 1 May 17

Way back when, I posted about my pumpkin plants. The butternut pumpkins (squashes) didn't do so well this year but we've had some nice pumpkin soup. Several of the plants turned out to be more 'regular' type pumpkins and I...

My pumpkins are on their way

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382044) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Dec 16

Some weeks ago I planted some butternut pumpkin seedlings in one of our 'tank' garden beds. I think these are called butternut squash in America. There is an automatic watering system so I don't always go out there to check on the...

sour not sweet

Lenore Plassman @sallypup (69176) • Centralia, Washington 8 Oct 15

I'm debating how to serve pieces of butternut squash tonight. We'll also have fish and probably broccoli. Perhaps put a dollop of plain unsweetened yogurt on the baked squash?
