Did I miss something? You gave your cucuzza away? The ones you were checking on at one in the morning 8’ up on a ladder with a flashlight? :-)
BTW, the first one is growing so I think it got pollinated and I think a second one was as well. Since I cleared the pots, baby C #1 has more room - it’s outside the wire and hanging over where the pots used to be.
When I was moving a pot, a toad hopped out .... he’s now in the tomato patch so the weed eater wouldn’t get him. He’s welcome back to eat bugs any time.
Yeah, I guess I was prosletyzing for Cucuzzi..Also, he has given me bookhoos (sp) of sweet potatoes in the past.
I'm making homemade ice cram right now...My neighbor asked me when I borrowed her ice cream maker if I was making a tomato sorbet, or if I had found a tromboncino or cucuzza ice cream recipe.
Found this interesting article entitled Phytochemical and Pharmacological Review of Lagenaria Sicereria
