Hi all,
For several years, I've noticed that I can grow any cucurbit I want..
as long as it's not a c. maxima.
Any ideas what could be going on? Do they have higher / different
fertility needs, some kind of virus sensitivity, are first on the menu
for cucumber beetles / squash borers, or what? Other growers in my
region seem to be able to grow at least some of them.
When I try to grow them, they do form a few fruit, but they are small,
rot on the vine before sizing up or ripening fully, and the vines die
early. It's been several years since I've even given them a chance.
