I’ve read they might be edible, so I’ll taste the flesh and see if it’s safe to eat (it was grown in a field full of ornamentals). Will probably save the seeds, I think they’re a maxima so I may grow them in with the Nanticoke mix I have?
What are you all doing for fall, anyone else having fun?
the above pumpkin is a Cucurbita pepo, the second a Cucurbita maxima. Both won’t mix with the other.
if you will have got mixes with the “ornamentals” depends on the species to which the “ornamentals” are belonging.
Maybe you could show some pictures of them.
If you need the caracteristics to distinguish the three main eatable species of the genus Cucurbita you can find them here (the page is in German but you can translate it with Google)
Thanks for the explanation and your blog link, that is very useful and interesting!
