This one was the seprise for many reasons not only did it pop a squash YES
G.... YOUR FAVORITE !! But on day 10 it is 27 inches and has a six inch
long
stem. Beautiful rich green on HEAVY stout vines with leaves dark and heavy
!!
NICE NICE plant. A real winner... Glad I grew it. I haven't given it a
pirate
ship name yet but with the giant scar that runs across its beautiful skin
(from a leaf) I have a few ideas.
Congratz on the surprise squash ! hee-hee.......(what was the pollinator of
your fruit?).....And, since you haven't named it yet how "bout a suggestion?.
In the early early 1600's Captain John Ward ran a pirate ship stealing all
the "gold" from any seafaring vessel he could find....Surely his ship's name
is appropriate for a surprise like a squash....the name---"Gift".
Or, when you first realized it was a squash ,what was the first sound from
your mouth? OOOPSSS...cant name it that ! In the early 1700's there was a
pirate ship on the east coast (well, I dont think there WAS a west coast
then) called
"Whyduh?"...seems appropriate to me ! ..............................G
ps.....Capt.Ward's boat Gift defeated the English King's "Royal Rainbow" in a
famous seas battle surely foreshadowing Kevins green victory over all other
colors of the rainbow.
pss..for historical accuracy I must mention that the "?" in "Whyduh?" was
added by me...........................................G
