fucking cool. i'd love to grow that.

i know ey me too

now they have seeds fron the new freash ones.

i wonder what exactly is the diff between this squash and modern squashes? nutritionally and all that i mean.

that sound like a silly question hehe

not at all, i wondered about it's nutritional properties too.

hopefully there will be some published follow up about that question!

THAT depends on the soil!

Partially. It also depends on how the plant utilizes the soil.

i wonder how those seeds were stored?

in clay? or cloth or something?

either way they did a good job ey!

interestingly enough, most fruits and vegetables you regularly see in the market these days, are the cream of the crop of what nature had to offer. they have been through a somewhat of an unnatural selection if you will, by man kind. as example, most apples in the wild were relatively inedible. the ones you now buy at the store are selected and cultivated to bring u only the most juiciest, tastiest and appealing of the bunch.

my fav apples used to be braburns from new zealand.

havnt had a decent one in like 15 years

I'm reminded of the crabapple tree in my grandparents' back yard. As a kid, sometimes I would find one that didn't have worm holes all over and I'd take a bite. Talk about bitter.

and by bitter you mean sour/tangy?

that tang is the best for pies and apple crunch and all that.


i find overly sweet foods lack depth of flavor.
