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...

Back on the 19th of March, I posted a photo of a pumpkin plant. There was a stone about a foot from the end of a runner. It’s now 17 days later and I’ve taken another photo of the plant.
I’ve put a brick about where the stone had...

Can you see the small stone in the lower part of the photo?
Two days ago, Vince put that stone at the end of the growing tip of the pumpkin. We are waiting to see how much it grows over the time we’re here. There are other...

In the photo, you can see the sum total of my butternut pumpkin/squash harvest. They looked like this before we left for Ireland at the beginning of April but I left them on the vine in the hope that they might fill out more.
But...

I did not realize this until after I snapped the photo. But my food is smiling at me today. LOL
What's for dinner...
Teriyaki burger, butternut squash, and gourmet mashed potatoes.

I am roasting butternut squash and the chicken wings are in the oven as well. The kitchen smells really good. Can't wait to dive in. Hope everything will taste as good as it smells.
I am also going to make a little salad. Hubby...

My pumpkin post generated a lot of comment as there was much discussion and debate about when such a thing is a pumpkin and when it is a squash. I decided it seems to be mostly the colour that decides so yellow and orange fruit...

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...

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...

When we returned from our trip overseas, I planted some pumpkin and watermelon seedlings in one of our raised beds. We call it butternut pumpkin but I think it is known as butternut squash in the USA. Maybe someone can tell me...

I was peeling a Butternut Squash yesterday to make some squash and carrot mash when I accidentily peeled my finger. It wasn't my brightest moment and probably more prove that I can't cook.
There was actually a thick piece of...

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?

Well that is the fancy name for it. We here in the country call it a potato pumpkin or a potato pumpkin squash. One of our dear church members gave us a HUGE potato pumpkin squash this weekend. I cooked it and then mushed it up a...

I love this squash baked, add a little sweetener and a dash of cinnamon and some butter to it. I know that you can make soup out of it. I have heard of pies made with butternut squash.
Anyone out there have good ideas of how...
