BTW, we do love to eat the male flowers stuffed with all kinds of goodies, sauteed in olive oil with pasta or in frittatas. They are so good. Yellow quash and zucchini flowers are even better as they have more substance.

Here are these unusual Long Pie Pumpkins. I hope I didn't post them elsewhere here as I've posted them on other fora. They are the size of zucchini left unpicked and are supposed to be very high sugar. I tried to tape and hand pollinate one female with four males. When I woke up this morning all the blooms had broken the tape off (remind self to stop fertilizing with Viagra). lol
