Watermelon , Pumpkin or something else?
« on: March 27, 2020, 09:31:20 AM »
Not sure what I’m growing here, I threw some scraps a long time ago - but don’t remember what was in the mix. Anyone? Not sure if to remove - it’s starting to take over!

I am not familiar with your climate, but from the pic i would say in about one/two weeks female flowers will start blooming so maybe 3 months after that your fruits will be ready (depends on the variety)

Eat those male pumpkin flowers.

Sauteed in butter on quick high heat with a little salt n pepper.  Crisp and yum.

Casserole stuffed male pumpkin flowers, with rice, chopped onions, olive oil, lemon juice and lots of seasosings, is by far my favorite dish. By far.
Not in season here yet, though...

My favourite recipe is male pumkin flowers (remember to remove the inside) stuffed with feta cheese (and other white cheeses, egg, pepper, raisin. Then for the exterior self raising flour with beer. Finally fry it in olive oil until golden/brown and it should taste amazing
