I can't be sure there are no butternut squash planted in the neighborhood, but it is the wrong time of year here...because of heat.<br /><br />I like the idea to plant papayas around the base to teach the plant what we expect!!!

I speak as if I know something, I do not.<br />Perhaps she needs to stick a circle of ripe papayas of the taste she likes around the trunk of the tree to give it a hint of what she expects from those on the tree. Maybe do this next season before the new ones bud out. Papayas teaching their own so to speak. <br />LOL sorry got a bit carried away here.<br />Also, look to see if any butternut squash are planted in the near vaciity of this tree. There may be some cross pollination going on.<br />Who knows, it sounds good to me!?Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-30693384260784909172010-06-02T07:25:55.107-07:002010-06-02T07:25:55.107-07:00I love that shot of hubby and 'kids'.

My grandkids in Louisiana call their grandpa "Paa-Paw" (phoenetically)<br /><br />Lisa- she ate the original papaya she had bought at the grocery store and it tasted perfect...isn't this the biggest mystery??? I am going to pose the question at Dave's Garden also.<br /><br />Darla and Claude- I guess I will plant the regular size cherry tomato...but probably have to wait now until October to do so due to the heat here, sadly! Too bad those little teeny plants for the windowsill don't last long...thanks for telling me this, Claude!!!<br /><br />Betsy- my fav is the grape sized tomato. Perfect round snack at night!!!

Or maybe they were left on the tree too long.?? I have no idea. This is one of those tropical things. Doosey looks so cute in her safe place. Luna would do that during a storm too if she could. Instead she hides in the bathroom that has no windows.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-59765255477203619382010-06-02T04:04:54.933-07:002010-06-02T04:04:54.933-07:00Cute DH photo....Our cherry tomato plant is as lar...Cute DH photo....Our cherry tomato plant is as large as the regular tomato plants...picked some last night, yummy!

I do know that those little tomato plants aren't too dependable. they tend to be extremely short lived. You'd be better off growing one of the standard grape or cherry tomatoes outside... they produce rather heavily.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568424354642247198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766825872703394586.post-72473043694489247142010-06-01T23:31:54.562-07:002010-06-01T23:31:54.562-07:00What a sweet pic of your hubby with the fur-kids. ...What a sweet pic of your hubby with the fur-kids.
