Glad to hear they aren’t hard to grow. I learned all about male/female flowers last year with the cucuzzi & trombetta squash. It helps to know that the female flowers might be coming a little later than the first batch of males on the spaghetti squash. The plants I saw yesterday were just out of the seeds ... first set of leaves. I think if I can find some seeds, I’ll start them a little later - we’re still apt to have some chilly nights over the next month.

Check tomorrow with climatologist Joe Bastardi for his Saturday report to the general forum by Freeper Excellence.
He generally gives a two week report , and tells you why and how the weather will be.
I respect him , highly for his accuracy !

Staggared productivity is always beneficial
especially if it involves a determinate crop variety.
Some plants may catch a disease , or harbor and invasive insect
whereas a previous , or subsequent, planting may not expeirience it
That is why being a farmer /gardener is the earliest form of gambling.
