Pick them before the cucumber beetles get
in them, just before they open, or as the tops are just opening. I read
somewhere 1 a.m. is good, but I go through several times a day if I get the
chance and pick ones that are ready. You can pick the females and sell with the
small fruit attached, but they tend to fall off. Males have a nice stem, and
you don’t give up a fruit. They keep will in a ziplock or clamshell
with a paper towel in the bottom, in the frig. They need to stay cold, but will
last maybe 3 days that way. Price – I will be interested to hear
from others. I have done 10 for $5 (not sold many) and for restaurants charged
a quarter each. These were nice big blossoms, from zucchini or some winter
squash that have big blossoms, not from yellow summer squash which tend to be
small. And Costato Romanesco makes huge blossoms. Beth Spaugh Farm Fresh Food Club CSA - http://rhomestead.com Garden fresh vegetables, organically
