Squash (vegetable)

To ripen Delicata squash off the vine, place the squash in a warm, dry area with good air circulation and indirect sunlight. It's best to keep them at temperatures around 70°F (21°C) to encourage ripening. Check the squash regularly for any signs of spoilage and use them within a few weeks for the best flavor and texture. If you notice the skin hardening, it indicates that the squash is ripening properly.

Squash is a Pepo, other types of Pepos are Pumpkin,water melon

Cucurbita Maxima

spaghetti squash resembles the great actor David Hasslehoff and on the inside it looks like a fetus on the inside

Courgettes or zucchini grow practically anywhere. They are thought to have originated in Italy, following variations in breeding of squash brought back from the Americas.

I'm assuming that you have squash bugs. you can use pyrethrins (made from mum flowers) insecticidal soap, rotinone, also rotate your plant every year using the three year rule(don't plant in same spot for three years) this goes for all veggies.

squash as in the vegetable or drink??

Veg=yes, it is healthy

Drink= OK in small quantities; about 600ml per day is OK! :)

squash string beans ..... It is called "ਚਕੋਤਰਾ"

Although corn, beans, and squash were grown in many Native American cultures, the term "Three Sisters" originated with the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois. In the Haudenosaunee story of Creation, the Three Sisters grew on Turtle Island and were considered the sustainers.

No, purple squash is not real. It is eggplant. Eggplant and purple squash are THE EXACT SAME THING. So for all u people out there that believe in purple squash, you are very wrong. Don't listen to all the links that say purple squash is real. It is not true. Purple squash is a type of eggplant-why have 2 different things because eggplant is a squash and it is purple!!

With the traditional hcg diet protocol done by Dr. Simeons you can only consume certain vegetables. Some people have altered this a little bit, but I'd recommend sticking to the original protocol for best results.

Here are some of the allowed vegetables:

cabbage

asparagus

chard

spinach

For a full list check out the related links.

There's a total of 9g of carbs (in a serving of 1/2 a cup),

2g being dietary fiber and 3g of sugar :)

The orange color of the squash indicates that the squash is high in carotenoids which have been shown to protect against heart disease. Butternut squash is also high in fiber, folate, and potassium.

In solids and liquids the molecules are already very close together so they can't be squeezed together much more than that. In a gas molecules are very spread out so they can be compressed

Rinse and cut the squash lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and excess fiber. May peel skin if desired. Stir-Fry: tender when pierced.

Bake: 400 degrees 30 - 40 minutes, uncovered.

Microwave: 1/2 the squash and microwave for 10 -12 minutes.

Boil: Cut into chunks and boil 7 - 9 minutes.

Steam: Cube and steam for 6 - 8 minutes.

Roast: 400 degrees for 30 - 45 minutes. http://www.seekingsources.com/cooking_butternut_squash.htm

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.
