I haven't to my knowledge seen white squash.lightfootfan wrote:The white squash grow quite well. Pick them when your thumnail pierces easily into the shell, slice up, dip in batter, and fry.
What you call "green beans" we call "runner beans. You are quite correct in saying that keeping the beans for the following year is customary. Runner beans breed true and the purchase of new stock is not required.FaithLamb78 wrote:If you grow green beans, black eyed peas, etch and the pod is dried out, don't throw it away. instead save it for next year's crop of green beans, black eyed peas etc. The reason is that the seeds in the pod will be accustomed to the soil, which will help your plants grow better. This is something I learned from my grandfather.

Bees will only sting in defence. Wasps sting because they like to. I think wasps have lots of wimmin genes.Glad E Olah wrote:You need honey bees for making honey not wasps. I will pass on the hives.....not keen on being stung.

(do wasps pollinate the blooms?)
Okra you're talking my language. I love fried okra patties. My grandmother mom's mother and mom made okra patties that were delicious, scrumptiousGlad E Olah wrote:FaithLamb78 wrote:If you grow green beans, black eyed peas, etch and the pod is dried out, don't throw it away. instead save it for next year's crop of green beans, black eyed peas etc. The reason is that the seeds in the pod will be accustomed to the soil, which will help your plants grow better.

Thanks Faith. Son does start some plants from the seed from the year that ended. We had a great crop of okra this year grown from dried pods removing the seeds.
The seed companies charge too much for their seeds. One tomato seed grows a plant that grows many tomatoes and each tomato has many seeds. God sure was good when He invented the veggies.
