That is a buttercup squash that Roxane is holding. Not exactly sure when to pick them, so we picked that one to see. Last year we had a few that looked like that one, just blew up, so I decided to pick them earlier this year. Only thing we could figure was that the juices inside started to ferment and expand in the hot sun. Our Crenshaw cantaloupe are about the same size as that buttercup but they will grow to 10 lbs. so they have a ways to go. Our regular cantaloupe just are not producing this year, they are blooming just no fruit[
].
So let me get this right, the hibiscus are not in the water just at the side of the water? The reason I ask is because a neighbor has one that looks almost the same but it isn't by any water, I was just wondering if it was the same or just similar. Since your fountain sprays is run by solar energy I thought that would give some good water movement in my pond, instead of turning on the power to run my waterfall. Glad the melons are growing well there, we might only have another month left before it starts cooling down. It isn't suppose to be cooling down much now but our overnight temps last night was down to 64 degrees and after having the overnight temps in the 70's for weeks now, the cool down was nice.
Good luck with the Rhubarb Crisp.
