urban homesteading in the pacific northwest
An event every year that begins at 12:00am on day third of April, repeating indefinitely
Zucchini is famous for being so easy to grow people dump it on neighbor’s porches in August and run away. The typical Northwest lack of summer heat that can make other cucurbits a challenge isn’t much of a problem for summer squash because the whole point is to pick the vegetable when it’s under-ripe. We can grow under-ripe fruiting vegetables no problem!
My favorite summer squash are the Lebanese-type called cousa, kusa, coosa or kousa depending on who you ask. Funny name? Maybe – but great nutty flavor and firm texture when young.
