.and I’m gonna need a longer cattle panel..

Maybe I should buy 3 panels!

Have you seen cushaw squash? 15-25lb gourd shaped squash. I am not real shy about asking strangers questions. I asked a lady that had one in her cart how to cook it. It tasted a lot like pumpkin. They were grown in the hills of the south during the depression(FDR’s, not BHO’s)by really poor folks, not seen much anymore, except in Texas, where a lot of Mexicans buy them.

I had three, but gave one away to a gardener down the street. He is just using his as a hoop/trellis, and put it between landscape timbers placed 4 feet apart, so it's really tall.

If you have three, you will think of a use for that third one..a Yurt for Gracie would be nice. I have seen people cut them with bolt cutters into shorter pieces for stuff.

My German Granny used to have them in her garden. I always thought they looked creepy...Unlike the black diamond watermelons that I thought looked, and tasted wonderful..

I wonder how come she never had all the bug problems we have..I only remember the occasional worm at the tops of the corn when we'd shuck it..Slave labor..snapping beans, shucking corn. Time better spent playing at the creek, or throwing rocks at hornet's nests, and running like heck..
