I have tried to grow them in a little space at the back of the house, but as soon as they get a few inches long, the rabbits and chipmunks have at them! I do so enjoy the male flowers of any kind of squash, tho. Stuffed with a little spicy meat and cheese and fried quickly.

French influence was minimal in comparison at this time. Hence, the Italian term was adopted rather than the French term that was adopted in Britain. Interestingly, this family of vegetables originated in South America!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89471347761176940802017-08-21T16:22:55.076+01:002017-08-21T16:22:55.076+01:00Oh, I see above that you already said marrow is di...Oh, I see above that you already said marrow is different.
