My cucuzza is going outside today....I’ll put a gallon water jug over it to filter the direct sunlight for a couple of days. I hope it makes it since it’s the only seedling out of 6 seeds.

Just don't boil it under that water jug if the soil is moist.

My two cucuzza plants are about 18 inches long, but heading for the cattle panel. I did protect the Tromboncinos from hot sun by putting designer's voile over the cattle panel. I never did that with the cucuzza. My one cucuzza that was on life support croaked, so, I took one of the seeds that has never germinated under the grow lamp, and put it in there. Temp's here are warm enough that I should be able to direct sow some cucuzza seeds. I might try that.

In other irritations of life, I have a major water leak under my house, so turned the water off. I've been using rainwater I collected for watering plants, flushing toilets, one gallon shampoos and showers for 6 days. The leak will get fixed this weekend, I hope as I'm running low on rain water.

I am fixing to stir fry a Tromboncino in some Dak Galbi (Spicy Korean chicken) I am cooking today.

Let me know how the Tromboncino cooks up! No, I won’t fry my Cucuzza under the milk jug ... have some row cover and might rig up something with that for daytime if I don’t like the way the jug works. I’m cutting the bottom out so I can fit it over the plant and then it can vent out the spout. It’s looking like it wants to take off - hope it will with all the room it has outside.
