Love squash blossoms! We haven't planted squash in our garden for a couple years now because they take up so much space, but I do miss the blossoms. Must remember to check for bees in them BEFORE bringing them in the house! Yikes!

Blossoms seem like a long ways away from now
Cold, damp and gray here, where'd that nice weather go?

I kept looking for them at the farmers market. None! Shoot!
We found them in CA at the farmers market - maybe this year.

Thanks Bill - I seem to do the blossoms at least one time each summer.

Have never seen them here or tasted one. So in Oregon I'm gonna grow my own and eat them all myself...unless anyone wants to come and enjoy with me
