Do you eat the pumpkins you grow?
For some reason, I have never cared for pumpkin, squash, or zucchini, yet that was what was grown in our garden every year.
I was also the only one in the family who didn't like watermelon, or any types of melons.

My mom made pumpkin pie occasionally but she just used canned pumpkin. My dad had a garden but never grew pumpkins.

I have never been a big fan of most squash and zucchini either. They don't taste bad. They just don't have any flavor to me. I can eat them if they are doctored up. There are a few that have good flavor like butternut.

You are the only person I know that doesn't like watermelon.

Do you eat the pumpkins you grow?

Sure do roasted pumpkin is sweet and delicious and pumpkin soup is also great.

Not a great fan of squash, zucchini is ok. I do like eggplant and have one growing, they make for a killer curry.

I also have some herbs growing dill, sweet basil and Thai basil (holy basil) which has the most amazing spicy smell and taste.

Never cared for watermelon either, though I like the occasion rock melon and have a few growing.

Also when are my tomatoes going to ripen at this rate they will be pumpkin size! They are drinking 2 to 3 gallons of water a day!
