Homeowner Forum / Lawn and Garden / July 2008Zucchini again
It looks like I must have grabbed the wrong seed envelope or something. Where I thought I had zucchini plants now really appear to be...something else :( Do zucchini plants and flowers look like pumpkin plants and flowers? I swear I have fruits on the "zucchini" that are coming out perfectly round like melons. I have flowers on my pumpkins (except now I cannot be sure they ARE pumpkins) that are big, orange and showy- exactly the same appearance as what I thought were zukes. Words of advice appreciated!

Even elongated ones can start out round behind the fading bloom. Pick one and cut it in half. If it's a zucchini, even when small it'll have cream-colored flesh ready to eat. A pumpkin, not. -paghat the ratgirl  Signaturevisit my temperate gardening website: http://www.paghat.com visit my film reviews website: http://www.weirdwildrealm.com > In article > <af78e9b2-d4ab-4cdc-b629-bd2c21d03...@2g2000hsn.googlegroups.com>, Chris [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > visit my temperate gardening website:http://www.paghat.com > visit my film reviews website:http://www.weirdwildrealm.com Thanks paghat! The problem is that I would really hate to chop off a pumpkin that was just getting started. Truth to tell, I never grew them before and I am pretty excited about having a crop. Anyway, here's a photo of the beast.

The only exception is when you visit Wal Mart in Sept or Oct. If you don't lock up, you will come back to find the back seat full of bags of zucchini. cheers oz, who never bothers to plant any and still ends up with too much |
