Will yellow summer squash grow huge like zucchini?
Comments (1)It makes a difference. Straightnecks on average will mature larger than crooknecks. At maturity some varieties may make 18 inches. Crooknecks much smaller mature ones make good decorative gourds.....See MoreAnyway to save summer squash and zucchini?
Comments (59)Of course you are able to can zucchini. Just because it is a low acid food does not mean you can't can it. Zucchini must be pressure cooked for 70 to 90 min depending on where you are located ( winter squash and pumpkin is like 180 min...though I haven't done it in years..so i might be off on the time a little). Canned Zucchini will not be able to be used shredded or in chunks. Canning it is only good for totally grating it in a blender and using it for things like zucchini bread. because it has to be cooked so long even if you do shred it or leave it in chunks it will be total mush. I keep the skin on and just put it in the blender! Make sure there is moisture in it...not too wet, but there must be some type of waterish liquid in it either from the zucchini or by adding water to it. just drain it really good when you use it to make your zucchini bread. My family has been pressure cooking zucchini for over 70 years and before that my great grandmother cooked it in a water bath for 3 hours over an open fire. Never had a bad jar. I've kept it the can jars on the shelf for 10 years in a can that was still good. Precaution, as usual, to check the seal, the color, the smell of course when you pop open the lid. To say it cant be canned it ridiculous. you must always be cautious when canning, but to say it can't be done is not true. green beens, carrets pumpkin etc is all low acid foods and people can them all the time!!! It will not keep its form though...that limits its uses!...See More101 things to make with zucchini or summer squash
Comments (80)Thanks for the great recipes! We planted heirloom zucchini seeds this year and they are coming in strong. We will have tons in no time. I so glad to be able to add some recipes to bag of tricks. I have a great recipe for zucchini bread. I have tried many zucchini bread recipes in the past and this is the very best bread! It is very moist. I'm sure you will love it! Zucchini Bread 1 c zucchini 3/4 c nuts (optional) 1 c any dried fruit (optional) 1 1/4 c flour 3/4 c sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 eggs 1/2 c melted butter 1/2 c vanilla yogurt 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp citrus zest Pre heat oven to 350â¢. Grate zucchini, dry and set aside in small bowl. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in large bowl and set aside. In medium bowl whisk eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla and zest. Fold into bowl of dry ingredients. Mix well. Add zucchini, nuts and dried fruit. Place in prepared 9X5 pan. This recipe can be easily double. Enjoy! ~Tina~...See MoreZucchini or summer squash with mostly MALE flowers?
Comments (6)Our greenhouse is heated and attached to our home. I grow orchids, tomatoes, citrus and other tropicals in it during the colder months. I'm certain there are some varieties that are known to produce more flowers, as I used to base my seed selection on it, but that was several years ago and before we had the greenhouse. Unfortunately, I don't remember which one it was and haven't found a similar description promoting male flower production. I have tried pumpkin flowers, but I find their flavor far too floral for my savory applications....See Morekddyd
