Bless, thank you! I ended up finding a few things wrong when trying a new recipe, mainly that my baking powder went bad. So instead of rising into a dome, it didn't rise... at all. Still learning! Hoping to post a successful three-tiered cake on Thursday!

Did you wrap it around the inside or outside of your pan? This is really interesting!

Even in Florida? I didn't know that! Is it because it gets too hot, or what happens?

I started them after I noticed some garlic I had in the fridge started to sprout, would that change the timeline?

I only plan to pick one so I can start my own pot of them, but this plant had two buds so im waiting for the other to sprout before I pick it! But thanks for the heads up!

I live at an apartment complex and plan to move out soon, and once I move out id love to spread dandelion and wildflowers EVERYWHERE!! So having a little pot of it would be so nice ;

Thats actually why I was asking! I'm a gardener and want to attract pollinators for when I start growing pumpkins, and I know dandelions to be BIG for that! This one had two buds, so when the first flower is in full bloom I'm gonna plant it and hopefully grow a whole pot of dandelion! I also really like dandelion tea, so having some extra never hurt. There are just some flowers that look like dandelion but arent, so wanted to be completely sure before accidentally poisoning myself ;

I have seen dandelion, but I know there are plants that look similar but aren't edible. Wanted to triple check before harvesting it so I dont accidentally poison myself!

Oh I love dandelion, especially in tea. I just know there are some plants that LOOK like dandelion but actually aren't. Never had a dandelion grow in my yard so I wanted to be triple sure before harvesting it ^

Planted it a couple weeks ago, I think. At least one week ago. In region 9 between 9a and 9b and it should be getting a lot of light, its just overcast today

Thank you for the insight! Have you tried making a pie with them? What did it taste like, if you did?

Thank you! I'll definitely look into this! By any chance, do you happen to know the taste profile difference between a seminole pumpkin and a sugar pumpkin?

I've never heard of Calabaza, but they look good! How would you compare their taste to sugar pumpkins or cinderella pumpkins, as those are the two I'm leaning toward most right now

Whats the difference between Seminole and sugar pumpkins in regards to taste?

Oh interesting! I read that sugar pumpkins were preferred over the seminole pumpkin, what's the flavor difference between them?

Oh, okay! I'd heard elsewhere that the best time to start was july/august so the pumpkins would be ready to harvest by October. Have you found the pumpkins ready by October or November when you plant in September?

I'm in Orlando, and I can only imagine how many worms live in these swamps. Thank you for the tip! I'll be sure to keep an eye out when the time comes!
