Does anyone know if serpent squash are edible? I've one that's getting lovely and big and realised that it may be just ornamental. Anyone know? ???

Only just seen this one, sorry.
Cheerfulness, do you mean Sicilian Snakes?  If so, they are edible but in my opinion, not worth eating!
I'm sure by now you will have tried yours, what did you think of it?

Oh just found this. I kept checking but thought it had been missed.

Bother! So I'm best not eating it.  :-\  Isn't it tempting when they get big. Tho if that's whats in your avatar then mines a pickle in comparison!

I still have it growing so I shall just admire it from afar and enjoy the fact it was a fun thing to grow.
I think I could become addicted to growing squash if that was anything to go by. ;D


Pole dancing, Shirlton - not with my dodgy knees.  ;) ;D
