It turns out that this year's "experiment" was actually squash. What started as a harmless little seedling from the compost eventually turned into a ground eating 10' plant. I found out too late which were the male and which the female blossoms, so no fried squash blossoms in my belly this year, but if I ever attempt to let nature run her course again there will be no respite for the pretty flowers. *sizzle*
