October plenty

Assuming no frost, the production will slow, but all four of the tromboncino’s offerings will be available: Four? Summer squash and winter squash count as two. The flowers are enormous, and flowers are edible raw or as a tempura. Offering #4, probably ready within the squash harvested in August: Seeds. Seeds of many squash are good, and this plant’s seeds are exceptionally tender and easy to prepare. Hollow out the seeds in the usual manner, rinse off the slime, separate onto a microsofe surface, and give the two handfuls of seeds roughly 5-8 minutes in a microwave. Best to give them increment of two minutes, with a cooling minute between blasts. Or, the traditional oven method will work just as well, baked until slightly brown. Oiled or non-oiled, they are one of the best.
