I am growing celeriac for the first time-doing very well.
What's new?

Yes, please let us know of any pickle experiences. It sounds like the cucamelon may give a big crop all at one time? They're so cute, I would need a way to preserve them... and almost anything is good pickled, and in a cocktail.
I see @digitS' filled you in, and it's his fault that I'm growing Par-cel.
I have them planted in my annual border in front of the veg garden, an appealing edible I think. I like celery and parsley so I'm sure I'll find a use for it.

Actually I am trying something new this year, Sakurajima Daikon Radish!

Here is La Madera these days:
The fruit looks so mature! It looks like an early variety.
Native Seeds say, "The fruits can be 5-25 lbs." I'm guessing the low end in my garden and that is fine for DW and me. Buttercup is a 3 to 5 pound squash and that is about right. I'm so looking forward to harvesting these.
How are other things new??!

Most of mine were grey or green grey with pink splashes and I find it to be highly variable in terms of appearance but the eating quality was good across the lot.
Did you only get the one color ?

No!
There is a plant with nearly white fruit, Hal.
I might have included a picture of it but my hand got in the way of the camera.

Wow I haven't had one with fruit like that yet! Any chance the seed from these will be pure or are they growing near the Buttercups?

Steve, is that a squash or a melon?

They are right in the thick with the Buttercups, Hal.
I know how I'm often pointing out how one can grow plants from the 3 common squash species and save seed from each. Nah. I often have all kinds of pepos & maximas! The seed companies are my friends.
Yes, squash, Mary. Winter squash (C. maxima) from a high elevation Indian village in New Mexico.
