500 Questions
Can you plant cantaloupe by zucchini?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, you can plant cantaloupe by cucumbers.
They do NOT cross-pollinate as they are different species. Only species fof the same species or closely related species may cross. Non-species crosses are extremely rare and usually sterile.
Cukes and pickles cross with each other. Cukes do not cross with melons, canteloupe, honeydew, guords, squash or pumpkins.
Canteloupe and honeydew can cross.
Pollination doesn't affect the fruit of a plant because the genetics of fruit production is set in the plant which is grown from the seed of the previous year. Cross-pollination within species would affect the fruit of the seeds in the subsequent year. In other words, rogue pollination of your cukes by your neighbors nasty pickles would not affect you current year crop of cukes, but you wouldn't want to save and plant those seeds expecting the same variety as you will have a hybrid which may or may not even be similar in taste.

Botany of a zucchini?
Asked by Wiki User
Cucurbita pepo Origin Italy, 19th century (?)
Zucchini (pronounced /zuËˈkiËni/ in North American and Australian English) or courgette (/kÊŠÇrˈʒɛt/ or [kÉ”Ëˈʒɛt] in New Zealand, South African, and British English or French) is a small summer squash. Along with some other squashes, it belongs to the species Cucurbita pepo. The zucchini can be yellow, green or light green, and generally has a similar shape to a ridged cucumber, though a few cultivars are available that produce round or bottle-shaped fruit.
In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable, which means it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, however, the zucchini is an immature fruit, being the swollen ovary of the female zucchini flower.

Inside a Zucchini flower
New Zucchini Fruit
The female flower is a golden blossom on the end of each emergent zucchini. The male flower grows directly on the stem of the zucchini plant in the leaf axils (where leaf petiole meets stem), on a long stalk, and is slightly smaller than the female. Both flowers are edible, and are often used to dress a meal or garnish the cooked fruit.
Firm and fresh blossoms that are only slightly open are cooked to be eaten, with pistils removed from female flowers, and stamens removed from male flowers. The stem on the flowers can be retained as a
Can zucchini be cut ahead of time or will they turn brown?
Asked by Wiki User
yes you can and to make them not turn brown or anything thing (like sliced apples) ex. just put them in water and add some sort of an acid like lemon juice; that will stop them from browning.
I agree with answer #1. A little lemon juice, orange juice, or anything acidic will keep apples, etc, from turning brown. This is a must when making guacamole salad which will turn dark very quickly. Tossing guacamole pieces in lemon juice first will keep the salad a beautiful green for a long time.
:When preparing the fruit or veg for a dish you are busy with you can cover with plain water.
You can cover with slightly salted water or add something acidic to the water, if you will only be using the fruit or veg later. When adding apples to a savoury / spicy dish like curry I would use salt, although the salt won't go well with desert.
...
all of these are correct, but for sweet potatoes, among many things, i'd recommend using tartaric acid (cream of tartar) with water. it doesn't take much at all, it is cheap, and it won't alter your flavor like citric acid or salt will.

How can you get rid of squash bugs on your zucchini without using a pesticide?
Asked by Wiki User
"You eat them" is just being rude.....Squash bugs can be eliminated by using Green light Neem solution (Found at gardening stores), or just mix 2 gallons of water, and 1/4 c. dish soap. (You can add some neem oil according to bottle directions, too). Spray the leaves, UNDER the leaves, too, and stems in the morning. The soap makes the bugs wet, then die. The Neem oil stops breeding, too, and most of the time feeding. Remember, to hand pick all of the eggs laid by the bugs, checking every other day or so. TRASH THEM, trying not to squish them. I am doing the same thing now with my garden! (Poor zucchini plants!)
