I grew it 4 years ago and last year too. Last summer was terrible, the young flower buds were killed by frost (they were grown outside).
Mapcr77 are you growing it for the sponge or as veggie ? for veggie, grow the ridge one...yummy! For the sponge, grow the non ridge one. They will need sunny and warm location and grow better in a green house.
Allotmentlady,no idea about the nutrition value but I love the taste.

I think they're a bit like courgette but maybe with watery, spongy texture so tends to shrink a lot from cooking. I love eating themOriginally posted by allotmentlady View Post

Certainly only the edible kind for meOriginally posted by momol View Post. Can't spare land for ornamentals. They're quite nice to eat, not quite like your normal courgette, more succulent and tender, slurpy, slurpy, slippery in the mouth.
