Comments (5)I've got to check this forum more often... Sorry to be a stickler for detail... but in their 2007 catalog, SSE lists "Amish Pie" as C. maxima (not C. pepo). The photo verifies that the variety has the thick, fleshy stem of C. maxima, as opposed to the thinner, woody stem of C. pepo. That it is sometimes mis-identified is not entirely surprising... "Zucchetta Rampicante Tromboncino" (a.k.a. any combination of those names) is C. moschata, but was sometimes mis-identified in the trade as C. pepo. Personally, I have always preferred the maximas for both fresh eating & processing. For the most part, they are drier & finer-grained, with less stringiness. "Buttercup", "Queensland Blue", "Hubbard", and some of the Asian kabocha squashes are my favorites. They also seem to be (slightly) less attractive to cucumber beetles, and because they often root at the nodes, usually survive SVB attack once established (burying the vines early is helpful)....See MoreCucumbers in pie tins?

Comments (3)The size and visibility of the pollen is relative so with the cuke flowers you won't be able to see it nearly as well. Personally I'm not a fan of using a brush. I just use the male flower itself. Stuff a male into a female bloom and give it a twist. Dave...See Moredigdirt2
