SO HAPPY TO SEE YOUR COMMENTS. WHEN I MOVED FROM WESTERN MASS TO CAPE COD, I COULD NOT BEAR TO LEAVE ALL THESE VILETS HOME, THEY WERE GROWING NEXT TO A STREAM AND SO BEAUTIFUL. I CAREFULLY TRANSPLANTED QUITE A PATCH OF THEM HERE IN THE WOODS AND THEY HAVE MULTIPLIED LIKE CRAZY. BUT... I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THEM BLOSSOM AND THEY HAVE BEEN HERE ABOUT 15 YEARS NOW. THE PATCH IS SOOO HEALTHY LOOKING BUT NOT ONE BLOSSOM .

You would think that at least one seed company would mention that.<br /><br />Black Forest kabocha, c. maxima, changes from bland taste to something incredible. A gardener says ideally they should stay on the vine until the leaves and vines are dry. <br /><br />From wiki:<br />"When kabocha is just harvested, it is still growing. Therefore, unlike other vegetables and fruits, freshness is not as important. It should be fully matured first, in order to become flavorful. First, kabocha is ripened in a warm place (77 °F) for 13 days, during which some of the starch converts to sugar content. Then it is transferred to a cool place (50 °F) and stored for about a month in order to increase its carbohydrate content. In this way the just-harvested, dry, bland-tasting kabocha is transformed into smooth, sweet kabocha. Fully ripened, succulent kabocha will have reddish-yellow flesh and a hard skin with a dry, corky stem. It reaches the peak of ripeness about 1.5–3 months after it is harvested."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-7806147520787528582012-02-19T11:00:43.255-08:002012-02-19T11:00:43.255-08:00One time, when my now husband and I were courting,...One time, when my now husband and I were courting, he sent me a heart-shaped potato for Valentines! <br /><br />-HannahHannah Averyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328348096616911341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-46578409469102078082012-02-15T05:43:00.912-08:002012-02-15T05:43:00.912-08:00I love finding 'heart' objects in nature t...I love finding 'heart' objects in nature too, and wherever they happen to pop up.<br /><br />Lovely post and pictures and great verse about the greatest love.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-57580640711409974062012-02-14T17:18:28.568-08:002012-02-14T17:18:28.568-08:00Steve Rocks! :) Happy Valentine's Day to you~...Steve Rocks! :) Happy Valentine's Day to you~ XXOOLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204423362871287944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-89577351423189166672012-02-14T17:17:02.381-08:002012-02-14T17:17:02.381-08:00Steve rocks! :) Happy Valentine's Day to you,...Steve rocks! :) Happy Valentine's Day to you, Connie <br />XXOOLauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204423362871287944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-32349525357393580992012-02-14T16:41:07.805-08:002012-02-14T16:41:07.805-08:00Oh!
