Squash (vegetable)

No. Courgettes grow in secret underground caverns in Turkmenistan. Attempts to grow them in the West have failed due to the absence of the Central Asian Bat from European and American caves. The bat is essential in pollinating the courgettes which occurs when it flits from plant to plant, depositing tiny amounts of guano on each.

No butternut squash, is not a root vegetable, such as tuber (eg. potatoes, carrots, yams). It grows above ground, like its close relative the pumpkin, the cucumber, the melon, etetera.

I'm from Canada and don't know if you can get this, but it's called "Safer-Soap." It is yellow and comes in a big hard bar. I use a potato peeler to get small shavings, then put some into a spray bottle with tepid water (like you would test a bottle for a baby) and start spraying your plants. Many bug problems are due to the fact people will water during the day, but the best time to water (if possible) is later in the evening just before the sun goes down. I found by doing this I had less bug problems. If you can't find Safer-Soap, then go to your garden supply store and tell them your problem and they can recommend many environmentally safe products for this problem. ... nit picking Technically speaking what you are looking for IS a pesticide as it kills pests, which is exactly what the word means. It is also a chemical pesticide as everything in the world is chemical. Nor is it "natural" as it is processed in a factory... like I said, just some nit picking ... . ... More Check the base of the newly-growing plant, and the soil in the immediate area, for bugs. Make sure that the soil is moist, but not waterlogged. Watering is most effective in the early morning or in the late afternoon/evening, outside of the high evaporation times of 10 a.m.-3 or 5p.m. The adult squash bug is hard-bodied, which blocks some chemical controls from getting through. Insecticidal soap, which can control soft-bodied insects, may work with the soft-bodied young squash bugs. Remove and destroy, from plant part surfaces, the bronze egg masses, which may resemble teeny-tiny red M&Ms. Clear the area of plants and weeds as soon as the zucchini has been harvested, against overwintering squash bugs. I've also found that squash bugs hate mint and chives. You can try planting other things that are supposed to repel the bugs in with your squash. This includes garlic, onion, tansy, radishes, nasturtiums, marigolds, bee balm and mint. Planting your squash later in the season, once the majority of the squash bugs have already hatched and perished can help. Try putting boards down on the ground near squash plants over night. In the AM you can get rid of the bugs that have gathered under the boards. Dust around the plants with diatomaceous earth. Mulch heavily and then cover your plants with floating row cover. tightly secured. I spray plants with an organic repellant made like very hot salad dressing with salad oil (to help it stick to the plants), a little vinegar, lots of garlic, black pepper, hot pepper, some tomatoes, aromatic herbs, mint. Blend it up in water, strain, and spray on plants. Not fool proof, but it definitely seems to help.

This is not easy. Cucurbita Pepo is the Pumpkin, Veqatable Marrow family which includes the gords and squashes.

1 cup cooked has about 35 calories. This is without butter, of course :)

This food will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.

there are many wonderful kinds of squashes! my favorite is the melon because of its delicious and sweet flavor. papaya and watermelon are great for your mom if shes fat. some other kinds of squashes are the strawberry and raspberry. they are very Delicious. everyone will be saying ooh lala

Sounds like they arent getting pollinated. Try taking an artist's paintbrush, soft makeup brush, or a cotton swab and lightly brush inside a male flower (the ones with skinny stems) and then brush inside a female flower (the ones with little squash at the stems). Do this for all your flowers and see if they grow into full squash.

Show me a picture Cut in half, remove the seeds. Then place it cut side down in a pan and put about a half inch of water in the pan. Bake about 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes. Then scrape the insides with a fork into a bowl. The bowl of squash will look like a bowl of yellow spaghetti. You can also use the microwave, but it will still take 20 to 30 minutes until it is soft enough to scrape.

It depends on your weight and how hard you play.

For example, for a 5' 5'' 145 pound woman it is about 650 calories per hour of hard play.

Neither, all three are individual members of the same Cucurbitaceae family of vine growing plants.

If you put the seeds in the bucket and then the water and then it will grow in 30 days so that,s how you grow the plant

Yes, they are different. Purple squash is made in a quantity of 7 to a sprout and eggplant is made in a quantity of 3 to a sprout. Eggplant is used in more recipes than purple squash, also.

With almost all squashes, I simply cut them in half lengthwise (be carefull, they are difficult to cut - keep your fingers on the dull side of the knife). I then scoop out the seeds, put some butter and lemon pepper (or black pepper) in the cavity, cover with foil and bake. Delicious!!

Serve a half, or a quarter squash to each guest. They will love it.

It can be eaten raw but it is bad for you and it will taste disgusting.

I like it dipped in ranch dressing. And it's not bad for you. It's quite healthy. Just make sure you wash it well.

It is a plant and like most plants it has flowers that attract animals and insects to fertilize them. Once this has happened, they begin to form a fruit, in this case the squash.

If its been cut up it should last a week or two. If whole it can last up to 5 months even when not refrigerated.

When it comes to knowing where to plant Butternut squash, it is vital to understand that you should try to plant them in warm soil. If you plan to plant them in pots then they need to be filled with peat and also don't forget, plant them only when the ground has thawed.

Happy to help you.

Tomatoes are fruit. Courgettes are vegetables.

Fruits are classified as juicy and containing seeds, both of which tomatoes have.

You can buy acorn stairlifts online via various online shops offering acorn stairlifts, they include a small fee for placing them. There might also be a contractor in your neighbourhood who can buy and place an acorn stairlift for you. You should make sure he has experience with installing these.

I've heard people describe it as "meaty", but I definitely never got that impression. But then, I made my mind up not to like it when I was a kid, and you know how that turns out a few years down the road....I still need to try it with a fresh mind.

But if you still have little kid tastes you'll find it to be squishy, squashy (duh), a little stringy, too yellow, and just really gourd-y.

But I've heard proponents of eating squash describe it as meaty as in savory and maybe also in texture, as I said, and surely buttery as it must be so aptly named, but I'm not the most reputable source since I haven't dared eat it for several years.

Really though if you want to know you should just cook some up and try it. Because describing a sensation and especially your own perception is difficult at best, even for a poet, and always misleading to someone or another.

On second thought, have someone else cook it for you. Someone who's done it before...because if you f|_|ck (sorry, had to do that because this c|_|nt of a website is afraid of something as silly as words) it up and end up hating it, it might not be the squash's fault at all!

I read somewhere in summers it grows. Seeds are sown in March or April

The white squash is found in the eastern and midwestern United States and Canada. It prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soils.
