The cucuzzi is an edible gourd(Lagenaria siceraria) some times called Italian zucchini. Like most of the family, the white blossoms open at night. Squash (cucurbita pepo) have yellow blossoms that open in the morning. They grow rapidly once set, so get ready. They are eaten small, but if you ignore them, they will get up to 5 feet long.

raisemybeds,

How long have they been flowering? Less than two weeks?

I grew it last year. We had some gourds that were 6 feet long. They went CRAZY. We had 100 degree temps and the plants didn't blink an eye! They grew up the 13 foot tall sunflower plants and there were gourds hanging off the sunflower plants! Nothing ate them which would make them fabulous root stock for grafting other melons onto. They were by far the most vigorous vegetable plant I've seen in a long time.

If you want to eat them, harvest them at 6 inch lengths but check twice a day because they grow faster than you can blink an eye.

Violet - they have been flowering for about 3 weeks I think. I have observed that a few have set nicely, if I am correct. They were good eating last year but it was already getting pretty cold here by the time I got any fruits and the powdery mildew had set in. This time I am ahead of that game. They are all over an eight foot trellis with no end in sight. They cannot go up anymore so they are starting to wind around and around. I just tuck in the errant vine ends and they grab on wherever I place them. Tromboncino is on another trellis nearby, and that is really kicking butt. We are eating those fruits already. I really admire the vining squashes - they are so impressive looking.

I'm sure you'll have more than you'll know what to do with soon. Feel free to prune, they'll keep going, and going and going, and going....
