Lebanese Bush Marrow Squash Jack-O-Lantern |
Mike made this last night from a Lebanese Bush Marrow Squash that morphed into a 15" long gourd. The bush marrow squash is grown as a summer squash and picked when it is very young.
We thought these would be a great squash for our customers but not many people were familiar with it. It has a very tender skin that bruised easily and it was not a big hit.
We left the squashes on the vine and let them go. What a nice surprise to have these lovely gourds that range in shades from pale cream to a pale mustard. Just perfect for fall decorations.
Mike carved the gourd just like a regular pumpkin, scooped out the insides, we'll add a candle tonight to greet little goblins.
Hope you all have a great Halloween and get lots of chocolate . . . . my one time that I actually buy chocolates and keep them around the house.
